Reflections of a behavior technician

“My favorite part of the training was overlapping. Getting out into the field or at least seeing what field work was like (vs. the behavior technician job description). I really enjoyed immediately getting to see the personalities of our clients, and all of what we do. How a session is run as well as getting to see firsthand, through modeling from our own Behavior Technicians, how our training is brought into the field.” View the blog here.
