Direct Answer
Yes. Special Learning's CE Library is built to the participation-monitoring standard — pre- and post-session knowledge checks at every session. CE Library courses include more than the handbook's example measure of 3 per 1.0 CEU. Special Learning has been a BACB ACE Provider (#OP-14-2437) since 2014.
How SL Compares to the BACB Standard
The July 2026 BACB standard requires that asynchronous CE monitor participation. The handbook's example measure is at least 3 knowledge checks per 1.0 CEU distributed through the activity, with per-learner response tracking; the other listed measure is completing an activity that requires active responding. Here's how Special Learning's platform measures against each requirement:
| BACB July 2026 Requirement |
Special Learning |
| Participation monitoring (handbook example measure: 3 knowledge-check questions per 1.0 CEU) |
✓ ~10 questions per course (5–10 per CEU for typical 1–2 CEU courses) |
| Questions integrated throughout (not only at end) |
✓ Embedded throughout; not a final post-test |
| Per-learner responses tracked |
✓ Per-learner quiz records maintained; BACB-audit-ready |
| Pass threshold required to earn certificate |
✓ 80% pass rate required — certificate gated behind quiz |
| Valid BACB ACE Provider credential |
✓ ACE Provider #OP-14-2437, active since 2014 |
Special Learning's CE Library is built to the participation-monitoring standard. The July 2026 rule raises the floor for providers who relied on passive CE delivery — it is a standard SL's CE Library is built to meet.

The Evidence
Documented platform facts (Karen Chung attestation, 2026-03-07)
- ~10 knowledge-check questions per course — for typical 1–2 CEU courses, this means 5–10 questions per 1.0 CEU, exceeding the 3-question BACB minimum
- 80% pass rate required to earn the CE certificate — learners who do not pass cannot claim the credit
- Per-learner quiz records maintained — each learner's response data is available for BACB audit verification
- ACE Provider #OP-14-2437 since 2014 — verifiable on BACB.com provider registry
- 32,000+ customers in 140+ countries have completed CE through Special Learning
Special Learning is not waiting on a platform update for July 2026 compliance. The quiz-based delivery model has been the platform's design since its founding — the July 2026 standard codifies a practice SL has used for over a decade.
