July 2026 Changes Affecting Ohio BCBAs
Format Change: Article+Quiz Courses Eliminated
Starting July 1, 2026, asynchronous (self-paced) CE includes participation monitoring — at least 3 knowledge-check questions per CEU. This is not a video- or interactive-only mandate: live webinars, video, journal clubs, and podcasts all remain valid CE when they include the required knowledge checks. CEUs already in your record are unaffected.
Is your CE provider ready? Special Learning's entire library is already video-based with knowledge check assessments. We have been compliant since before this rule was announced.
