ABAI’s Continuing Education Program

General Information

One of ABAI’s primary objectives is to provide educational opportunities for members and other professionals to review recent research, discuss current theoretical issues, and learn new methods in the application of behavior analysis to societal problems. While ABAI does not require participation in the continuing education (CE) program for membership, involvement is encouraged.

The CE program is designed to meet needs for self-improvement and to provide continuing academic training for psychologists and behavior analysts as required by many licensing associations and specialty boards. ABAI maintains records of all CE credits.

ABAI is a Learning Type ACE provider for the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB), is approved by the American Psychological Association (APA) to sponsor CE for psychologists, is approved by the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) to offer CPD for school psychologists, is approved by the International Behavior Analysis Organization (IBAO) to offer CEUs for behavior analysts, and is approved by the Qualified Applied Behavior Analysis Credentialing Board (QABA) to offer CE for those with Applied Behavior Analysis Technician or Qualified Autism Services Practitioner credentials. ABAI maintains responsibility for all programs and their content meeting designated continuing education requirements.
