After completing your continuing education courses, you must report your BCBA Continuing Education Credits to the BACB. You can do this online by following these simple instructions. 

Step 1: Log In at www.BACB.com. You can log in directly from the BACB’s homepage by clicking on the “Access/Create Account” box. If you don’t already have an account, you can register online. 

Step 2: Click on the ‘Continuing Education’ tab and click on the link titled “Manage CEs.” 

Step 3: Scroll to the bottom and click the button “Add a CE.” You cannot aggregate all of your continuing education credits into one record. Please complete a separate entry for each CE title you complete. 

Step 4: Next, scroll down and select “Type. 

Step 5: Under the “Provider/University” section, please type out the CE Provider name. 

Step 6: Type in the number of BCBA continuing education hours you completed for that particular course. 

Step 7: Because three (3) Ethics credits are required, the BACB tracks these credits separately. If you are recording an Ethics CE course, be sure to enter the number of hours taken in the box labeled “Ethics and Professional Behavior Hours.” If you are recording a course that was not approved for Ethics credits, enter “0” into the box. 

Step 8: Enter the date you started the BCBA continuing education course, as well as the date you completed the CE course. 

Step 9: Type the “Event Title” into the box provided. This will be the title of the BCBA continuing education course you attended. 

Step 10: Enter the location you received the BCBA continuing education credits. Note, if you received your credits from an online course, please enter “Online.” 

Step 11: List the instructor/s who led your course. If you attended an online course, you can also enter the organization’s name as the instructor (e.g., Special Learning). 

Step 12: Type in “Provider Number“; the number is usually listed on your training receipt and/or certificate of completion. If you are training with Special Learning, our number is OP-14-2437. 

Step 13: Click ‘Save’ and your BCBA continuing education course history should be listed in your account immediately. 

Helpful Hint: Even though you have uploaded your CE records online, don’t throw your paper copies away. The BACB can conduct a CE audit anytime and you want to keep all documentation in case this happens to you! 

Step 14: Keep track of your CEs. To maintain your certification with the BACB, you must complete a certain number of CEs every two years.

Journey to Independence

Community-based program designed to support families on waitlist

Being an RBT for me was extremely fun because where were you going to find a place where you can be completely silly without having to worry what people thought about you? This was the only job that made me feel like I could make a dramatic difference while being myself.

I also liked to be surrounded by people that had the same goals of wanting to help kids and the teamwork made the job much easier and more enjoyable.

Change and progress was the ultimate goal for our kiddos. The early intervention program was seriously only a miracle because I saw changes in the kiddos that from day one, you wouldn’t even recognize who they were.

Changes from being able to utter 3-4 words where they can only make a syllable from when they started, the behavior decreases in which kiddo that used to engage in 30-40 0 self-harm to only half, learning how to wait during games, table work where they use to swipe and drop to the floor if they had to.

My favorite was when the parents would tell us what amazing progress they were making at home. I used to tear up and felt for these parents so much because it was already difficult for them and now, they can trust and rely on ABA and the therapists knowing their goal was ours.
