🎙 Real Talk for RBTs: Advocacy, Burnout & Better Workplaces

With special guests: Chris, Liz, and Rebecca from AByay!

In this eye-opening episode, April and Stephen sit down with Chris, Liz, and Rebecca—the brilliant minds behind AByay!—to shine a spotlight on the people who keep the ABA field running: RBTs.

From emotional fatigue to unclear expectations, we unpack what RBTs really experience and what needs to change to create better, healthier workplaces.

They explore how RBTs can advocate for themselves without burning out, why joy and preferred stimuli aren’t “extras,” and how BCBAs and business owners can build workplaces where RBTs feel safe, supported, and empowered.

Whether you’re an RBT, BCBA, or ABA business owner—this episode is your reminder that treating RBTs well isn’t optional. It’s foundational.

🎯 Inside the episode:

• 💬 What advocacy really looks like as an RBT
• 🏢 How to create communicative, supportive workplaces

• 🧸 Why preferred stimuli are key to real client progress
