Why must an RBT and the RBT’s supervisor each complete a packet?

• An RBT practices under the close, ongoing supervision of a BCaBA, BCBA, or BCBA-D.  The RBT is primarily responsible for the direct implementation of behavior-analytic services.  The RBT does not design intervention or assessment plans.  It is the responsibility of the RBT's supervising Behavior Analyst to determine which tasks the RBT may perform as a function of his/her training, experience, and competence.  Supervising Behavior Analyst of the RBT is responsible for the work performed by the RBT on the cases they are overseeing.  Therefore, a PIP packet must be completed by the RBT and a PIP Packet must be completed by the RBT’s Supervising Behavior Analyst.
