School-based behavior specialists are psychological counselors specialized in committed care for children with emotional or behavioral issues. With your skill set, you are able to assist students with ADHD, OCD, depression, anxiety, autism, addiction, and more. The process of helping these children differs by position. As a BCBA or ABA, you're directly assessing the students and creating a plan to address their issues moving forward. Working closely with an RBT to implement the given treatment and ensure you can successfully help as many children as possible.

The rules and requirements for licensing differ based on each state, so be sure to check with your specific location. Additional certification is required if you are looking to become a BCBA.
