Summary

Why You Should Work as an RBT

• The RBT position provides great experience for anyone interested psychology, social work, speech and occupational therapy, education, and all human services.  

• Grow professionally and personally. RBT's  learn skills that are applicable in various occupations and many aspects of life.  

• Be an advocate for your patient! 

• Build relationships and have fun while you work! 

• The Autism Therapy Assistant position is a great career for anyone motivated and rewarded by seeing patients make real progress.
