What the state requires
Mississippi's rule defines 'Behavior Technician' as an individual currently certified by the BACB as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) providing ABA treatment under the supervision and direction of a licensed behavior analyst or licensed assistant behavior analyst -- there is no non-RBT technician category. Rule 9.3(C) additionally sets a minimum of a high school diploma or equivalent.
The behavior technician is not a separately licensed professional and works solely under the license of the behavior analyst, who is responsible for all conduct of the behavior technician. The Board maintains a public register of every registered behavior technician's name, last known place of business and residence, and registration date/number. Before registering anyone, the supervising licensee must confirm the applicant is 18+, of good moral character, meets the education minimum, and has adequate communication skills, and holds current RBT certification; no examination is required for registration. Termination of a supervisory relationship must be recorded on the Board's system within 7 days. The registration fee is $25.00 per behavior technician.

A licensed behavior analyst or assistant behavior analyst must comply with the supervision policy of the BACB as it currently stands (a dynamic, unpinned reference); the Board may audit supervision records of a licensee at its discretion.
