The International Behavior Therapist™ (IBT™) is the certification for those who provide direct Applied Behavior Analytic services who have completed an IBT™ course sequence that covers the core Applied Behavior Analysis content and who pass a competency examination designed specifically for providing common ABA services at a therapist level.
