Our Story

Born from the behavior technician conference and BT community, the behavior technician association emerged from a recognition that behavior technicians needed their own professional home—one that truly understood their unique challenges and celebrated their essential contributions.

Founded to deliver essential resources, recognition, and advocacy on a national scale, BTA places Behavior Technicians front and center. We know the challenges of the frontline because we've experienced them ourselves.

Today, BTA serves members nationwide, providing the professional support and community that behavior technicians deserve. From new graduates to seasoned professionals, we're building a movement that recognizes behavior technicians as the backbone of Applied Behavior Analysis.
