BCBA CE Requirements in Missouri (2026)

BACB Baseline + Missouri-Specific Requirements

Free reference from Special Learning — BACB ACE Provider #OP-14-2437

BACB Certification Requirements (All BCBAs in Missouri)

Regardless of state, your BACB certification renews on a 2-year cycle.

Starting July 1, 2026: All CE must be interactive video with assessment (minimum 3 questions per CEU). Article-and-quiz formats are no longer BACB-eligible.

State Licensure: Missouri Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA)

Missouri requires a separate state license to practice as a behavior analyst. Your BACB certification and your Missouri LBA license are two separate renewals — each with their own CE requirements and timelines.

Licensing body: State behavior analyst licensing board

State-specific requirements: Licensed Behavior Analyst via ABAE Committee.

Important: CE earned for BACB renewal does not automatically satisfy Missouri LBA renewal unless the state board accepts those hours. Always verify with the Missouri licensing board before submitting CE for state renewal.
