Meet Your ABA Team
When your child begins applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy with Maxim Healthcare, they will be supported by a dedicated team of trained professionals, with each playing a specific role to help your child thrive. Understanding who’s who can help you feel more confident and connected throughout the process.
Behavioral Technician (BT) / Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)
Your child’s day-to-day therapy support
BTs and RBTs are the familiar faces your child will see most often. They work directly with your child during sessions, putting the therapy plan into action in a hands-on, engaging way.
They help your child:
- Build communication, social, and daily living skills
- Practice new behaviors in real, everyday situations
- Feel comfortable and supported during sessions
They collect goal data and share observations with you and the clinical team to track your child’s progress over time. Sessions may take place at home, at school, or in the community, depending on your child’s goals and needs.
Assistant Behavior Analyst / Midlevel Supervisor
Additional clinical support when needed

They may:
- Support BTs/RBTs during therapy sessions
