The Behavior Technician
Mixtape
40 Hours to Certification
Not your typical 40-hour training. And that’s the point.
✦ About the Course
The Behavior Technician Mixtape: 40 Hours to Certification isn’t your typical 40-hour RBT training — and that’s the point.
Forget the dry slides and corporate voiceovers. Our instructor shows up fashionable, ever-changing, and unapologetically herself — because learning shouldn’t feel like a punishment. We use music, culture, and real-world connections to make behavioral concepts actually stick.
Every module is structured like a track on an album — with music, pop culture, and real-world scenarios baked into the content. Not as decoration. As the actual teaching method. Because when you connect a concept to something you already know and love, it doesn’t just pass a test — it follows you into the session room.
This training was built for behavior technicians, paraprofessionals, educators, and anyone working with individuals across settings — clinic, classroom, or community. If you’ve ever zoned out during a compliance training, this is your antidote.
✦ Every Pathway Includes
- 10 Modules · 40 Hours of Training
- Self-paced, on-demand access
- Certificate of Completion
- 3 PDUs — redeemable after certification
- Culturally responsive instruction
- Real-world ABA scenarios
- The Mic Check— our exclusive mock exam, redeemable after your certificate is issued. Because practice makes permanent. ✦

✦ About the Course
10 Modules. 40 Hours. One Vibe.
Every pathway runs the same tracklist — built to take you from zero to certified.
The Prelude: Press Play INTRO - Welcome & Orientation
Every great album starts before the first track drops. The Prelude is where you get your bearings — learn how this course works, who it's for, and what it means to step into the role of a Behavior Technician. No prior experience required. Just show up ready to learn.
Side A: The Foundation - Data Collection & Graphing
You can't build anything solid without a strong foundation. Side A breaks down how BTs measure behavior the right way — from frequency counts to time samples — and teaches you how to read what the numbers are actually saying. Because good data is the difference between a plan that works and one that's just noise.
Side B: The Code - Ethics Part 1 · Core Principles & Professional Conduct
Every legend lives by a code. Side B introduces the ethical foundation every BT is built on — your responsibilities to your clients, your supervisors, and yourself. Confidentiality, competence, supervision requirements, and how to carry yourself as a professional on and off the clock.
Side C: The Observation Deck - Behavior Assessment
Before you can change anything, you have to see it clearly. Side C walks you through preference assessments, skill assessments, and functional assessments — and exactly what your role looks like in each one. You're not calling the shots, but you're a critical part of the process.
Side D: The Detective - Behavior Reduction
Every behavior has a story. Side D teaches you how to identify why behavior happens and what to do about it — antecedent interventions, differential reinforcement, extinction, punishment procedures, and crisis response. When things get hard, you'll know exactly what to do and why.
Side E: In the Studio - Behavior Acquisition
This is where the real work gets made. Side E is the heart of the album — reinforcement, prompting, chaining, shaping, discrete trial teaching, naturalistic instruction, token economies, and more. Whether you're at a table or teaching in the middle of real life, this is where you learn to help people grow.
Side F: The Beef - Behavior Reduction
Every behavior has a reason, and how you respond to it matters. Side F gets into the strategies BTs use when behavior needs to come down — identifying functions, antecedent interventions, differential reinforcement, extinction, punishment procedures, and crisis response. This is the side that prepares you for the moments that test you most.
Side G: The Paperwork - Ethics Part 2 · Documentation, Reporting & Advanced Ethics
Nobody's favorite track, but it might be the most important one. Side G covers what to document, what to report, when to speak up, and the deeper ethical responsibilities BTs carry — dual relationships, cultural humility, social media, and how to handle situations where doing the right thing isn't always the easy thing. Your session notes are a legal document — treat them like it.
Side H: The Bonus Tracks - Expanded Skills & Applied Practice
Every great album has bonus tracks that hit harder than you expected. Side H brings it all together with expanded content, applied scenarios, and skills that go beyond the basics — because being a great BT means being ready for everything the job actually looks like in the real world.
The Outro: That's a Wrap - FINALE · Course Completion & Next Steps
The music doesn't stop here. The Outro is your send-off — a look back at everything you've covered and a clear path forward toward your certification. You put in the work. Now it's time to take it into the real world and show up for your clients like you mean it.
