Common questions

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientific approach to understanding and changing behavior. It's one of the most studied approaches for autism, and it's used to teach communication, social, self-care, daily living, and academic skills while reducing behaviors that interfere with learning.

The evidence is stronger for teaching specific skills than for long-term outcomes into adulthood. The American Academy of Pediatrics' 2020 clinical report describes an increasing evidence base for behavioral interventions and calls for shared decision making with families. ABA isn't a cure, and a good provider will talk with you about goals rather than promise outcomes.

The BACB’s four-Supervision-CEU change applies to recertification cycles beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Use the current handbook and your own cycle dates.

Check each event’s current BACB CE designation, certificate offer and participation and documentation requirements. A library purchase alone does not establish eligible credit or cover an individual’s recertification requirements.

RBTs must complete 12 PDUs per 2-year certification maintenance cycle, earned through one or more of the three approved pathways: ACE provider training, in-service training from a qualified supervisor (BCaBA/BCBA/BCBA-D), or university coursework.

The Video CE Library is $159 for 12 months of access until January 15, 2027 (usually $199) and carries 32.0 CE-eligible hours, including Ethics and Supervision. Check the event details and your own recertification requirements. The All Access Library is $299 for 12 months of access to its included training. Check its current content and each session’s credit designation before buying. A library purchase alone does not establish renewal coverage for every credential.

Effective July 1, 2026, the BACB ACE Provider standard adds participation monitoring to self-paced (asynchronous) CE: providers must monitor participation in each event. The handbook’s example measure is at least three knowledge-assessment questions per CEU, or another form of required active responding. This is a provider-side requirement and does not change your CEU count, renewal cycle, or deadline. Special Learning CE already includes embedded assessment, so there is nothing you need to do differently.
