About being an RBT
This is a GREAT experience for those going into: (applied) behavior analysis, psychology, special ed, disability advocacy/law, therapy/counseling, occupational therapy, speech therapy, etc. We also have unpaid internships. Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) need to have some reliable form of transportation and be willing to drive in and around Charleston including but not limited to Mt. Pleasant, West Ashley, James Island, Daniel Island, N Charleston, Summerville. You can choose to work as few as 12 hours weekly and as many as 40, but we would need you to be able to commit for one calendar year for the sake of the consistency of therapy.

Training is 55 hours of orientation and supervision and would be need to be completed within 45 days (preferably 30). This is 40 hours of an online class at your pace plus 15 hours onsite with a client plus a brief orientation to the company in about an hour meeting.
Smartphone, email, and texting a must!
Communication via email and text frequently and reliability at work is essential for the children and the consistency of their programs. You must be willing to respond to emails within 24 hours and brief texts within 4 hours hopefully sooner, unless you have given notice of unavailability.
Job potential
There is opportunity for growth within the company with as little as 500 hours employment completed! With each promotion, experience and pay increase.

(Registered Behavior Technician, Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst, Board Certified Behavior Analyst).
Details, details
This is an excellent opportunity for psych or related majors to gain hands-on, clinical experience. Applied Behavior Analysis is one of the best areas in psychology for students to have real-life independent clinical responsibilities with kids. We are pleased to be the only company in South Carolina with two Ph.D. level behavior analysts training therapists and working with clients. We have been able to both keep therapists long-term and write good letters of reference for those who move on. We need very dedicated, passionate students interested in learning and will be very dependable due to the importance of consistency among the kids.
In working for CCBS, I earned irreplaceable skills and really was able to boost my [graduate school] application. CCBS often appeals to psychology students looking to get their foot in the door in the field of psychology with the opportunity to build and grow within the company. However, I was a Kinesiology major in school so I know that becoming a Registered Behavioral Technician could be a desirable job for students with many different majors whether it be for job experience, a resume boost or desire to become a Behavior Analyst like Dr. Doughty and some of the other staff members. I highly recommend this opportunity for other [others] as I have been able to grow, learn and work with unbelievable children with special needs. This opportunity has led me to pursue a [new] career path.
