Professional Communication and Teamwork (PDU)

Professional communication is an essential skill for every Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). In this video, you will learn the importance of maintaining clear, respectful, and effective communication with supervisors, families, and other professionals while always working within the RBT's scope of practice. You will also explore strategies to strengthen teamwork, foster positive collaboration, and contribute to high-quality, client-centered care. These principles are fundamental to ensuring consistent, ethical, and effective interventions in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

PDU # 1 RBT Professional Role and Basic Ethics

Learn about the fundamental responsibilities of a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and the importance of adhering to the ethical principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). In this video, you will learn about the RBT's role within the clinical team, the boundaries of their professional practice, their relationship with the BCBA, confidentiality, professionalism, and the ethical standards that guide quality care. This content provides a solid foundation for performing the RBT role responsibly, competently, and with a focus on client well-being.

ABC of Behavior and Evidence-Based Behavioral Strategies (PDU)

Discover the fundamentals of the ABC Model of Behavior (Antecedent, Behavior, and Consequence) and learn how to use it to understand why behaviors occur and what factors maintain them. In this video, you will learn to identify each component of the ABC model and explore evidence-based behavioral strategies used in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to promote adaptive skills and reduce challenging behaviors in an ethical and effective manner. This content provides a strong foundation for implementing consistent, client-centered interventions that address each individual's unique needs.

Behavior Functions and Simple Functional Data Collection (Applied and Ethical) (PDU)

In this training module, "Behavior Functions and Simple Functional Data Collection (Applied and Ethical)," participants will develop a foundational understanding of identifying the functions of behavior and applying basic functional data collection procedures within the framework of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). This content is designed for Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and other professionals involved in implementing behavior intervention programs, with an emphasis on applied, ethical, and evidence-based practices. Throughout the training, participants will explore key concepts related to the objective observation of behavior, the identification of variables that may influence its occurrence, and the use of simple, effective methods for collecting meaningful functional data. This knowledge provides a strong foundation for supporting data-informed, client-centered interventions while working within the RBT's scope of practice.

Ethical Use of Artificial Intelligence in Applied Behavior Analysis (Ethics CEU)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the way professionals access information, analyze data, create educational materials, and support clinical decision-making. As AI tools become increasingly integrated into professional practice, behavior analysts must understand the ethical responsibilities, limitations, and risks associated with their use. In this Ethics CEU course, participants will explore the ethical considerations surrounding the use of artificial intelligence within the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). The training examines how AI can be used responsibly while maintaining client confidentiality, professional competence, data security, and adherence to ethical standards. Participants will learn practical strategies for evaluating AI-generated content, identifying potential risks, and ensuring that professional judgment remains central to clinical decision-making. The course also discusses the importance of transparency, accountability, and evidence-based practice when incorporating emerging technologies into behavioral services.

Improving Quality of Remote Supervision (CEU)

As telehealth and remote service delivery continue to expand, effective remote supervision has become an essential component of high-quality behavior analytic practice. This BCBA Continuing Education course focuses on strategies for enhancing the quality, effectiveness, and ethical implementation of remote supervision within Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Participants will explore best practices for supervising behavior technicians, trainees, and clinical staff in virtual environments while maintaining professional standards, promoting skill development, and ensuring client-centered outcomes. The course examines common challenges associated with remote supervision and provides practical solutions to improve communication, performance feedback, competency assessment, and professional collaboration. Through real-world examples and evidence-based recommendations, attendees will learn how to create meaningful supervisory experiences that support staff growth, treatment integrity, and ethical service delivery.
