What are the responsibilities of a Behavior Technician in a rehabilitation hospital?

Answer 1

1. Write behavior modification programs for people showing behavior problems. Usually this means prescribing how people should work with the person and arrange the environment to elicit appropriate behavior and avoid exacerbating problems. Some knowledge of diagnoses, both psychiatric and physical are helpful.
2. Assessing a person through psychological tests under the supervision of a psychologist or a psychiatrist; taking behavioral surveys; assessing the extent of problems.
