Join us Wednesday, November 4, at 12 PM Eastern for a FREE CEU presented by Hal Foster! Did you know that applied behavior analysis has played an important role in substance use treatment? Contingency management is a direct application of operant conditioning and the three-term contingency, with a strong evidence base for supporting behavior change in substance use treatment. In this presentation, Hal will explore the research supporting contingency management, including its effectiveness in treating stimulant use disorder, a condition for which no FDA-approved medications currently exist. We'll also examine how contingency management is expanding beyond traditional clinical settings through digital health platforms and what these developments could mean for BCBAs interested in designing, evaluating, or consulting on behavior change programs. This session offers a unique opportunity to explore ABA's contributions beyond traditional practice settings and consider new applications of behavior-analytic principles.

Join us Wednesday, October 28, at 12 PM Eastern for a FREE CEU presented by B. Kuereine Gray! How can behavior analysts better recognize and respond to trauma while providing ethical, compassionate, and effective services? Trauma can significantly influence learning, behavior, and an individual's response to intervention. Understanding these effects is essential when working with neurodivergent populations and developing individualized treatment approaches. In this presentation, B. Kuereine Gray will explore different types of trauma, their prevalence among neurodivergent individuals, and behavioral indicators that may suggest trauma exposure. We'll also examine ethical considerations surrounding trauma screening and discuss practical ways to incorporate trauma-informed approaches into intake and assessment procedures. Whether you're looking to strengthen your assessment practices or expand your understanding of trauma-informed care, this session will provide valuable insights for your clinical practice.

Join us Wednesday, October 21, at 12 PM Eastern for a FREE 1-hour Learning CEU presented by Kaitlin Wilder! What happens when traditional ABA strategies aren't producing meaningful outcomes in real-world settings? BCBAs working in schools, homes, and community settings often face unique challenges when supporting individuals with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) and other challenging behaviors. In this presentation, Kaitlin will explore the evolving understanding of PDA, the differences between escape, avoidance, and PDA, and how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can offer practical approaches to supporting individuals in everyday environments. We'll also examine the challenges BCBAs face when resources are limited and discuss how ACT-based strategies can help practitioners navigate complex situations while promoting meaningful behavior change.

Hello, and welcome to the Open CEU Community! My name is Matt Harrington. I have been a BCBA for 6 years, and have given out over 10k CEU certificates through the Behaviorist Bookclub. This community originally started as the ABA Clubhouse, and we have been doing weekly free CEU events since the beginning of the year. In July 2026, our new software, openceu.com launched! OpenCEU is a CEU hosting platform that aims to reduce the response effort (and cost) of publishing CEUs. More on that in one of the pinned posts! A little about me! ✅ RBT -> BCaBA -> BCBA -> Clinic Director -> ABA Marketing ✅ 3 kids (2, 4, and 6) + Married 7 years ✅ Values are family protection and creation/production A little about the community 🦄 Free weekly CEUs 🦄 Community chat regarding things BCBAs ACTUALLY care about 🦄 Sharing CEU events encouraged! What to do next 🧚‍♀️ Browse the classroom (or go straight to openceu.com) and watch some CEUs 🧚‍♀️ If you are an ABA Complany director/owner, check out the pinned post to learn about the ABA Back Office or go to https://www.skool.com/the-aba-back-office 🧚‍♀️ If you are an ACE Provider, check out the pinned post to learn about how you can host CEUs at no cost at OpenCEU.com BTW, you may notice that this community is free, but you can also subscribe for $5 or $25. Let me explain. OpenCEU was built on open access, meaning I charge nothing for ACE providers to host on the platform and take 0% platform fees. BUT… As OpenCEU gets more popular, the cost to maintain the software has increased as well. So the $5-$25/month is a small donation to help me keep the platform open access and encourage the dissemination of future research. So, if you would like, every subscription goes directly into keeping this mission alive!
