From application to beginning training was about 2 to 3 weeks. They started with a basic screening, covering a few background questions and scheduled main interview. This interview was virtual, conversational, and with scenario based questions. If you are not yet an RBT, they want to know about your background working with kids, critical thinking, creative problem-solving and understanding of child development in general. If you have experience with kids on the spectrum, it is certainly a bonus, but they really are looking for a genuine desire to work with children. They will also discuss your availability with follow ups for skills test, and background checks before an offer.
