Special Learning
Pre-packaged CE libraries work great for some people. But if your agency has different specialists on staff, or you have specific clinical gaps to fill, a fixed bundle means paying for courses you'll never touch.
12 months unlimited access • 200+ hours BACB-approved CE • Instant access after purchase
These are the situations we hear from agency directors and BCBAs every week. If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.
My agency has verbal behavior specialists, transition specialists, and early intervention BCBAs on the same team. No CE bundle covers all of them well.
I need supervision CEUs this cycle. My colleague needs ethics. We're paying full bundle price for courses that only half apply to each of us.
I bought a per-course library last year and spent over $400 building out my 32 CEUs. There has to be a better way to do this.
Our agency has a CE stipend. Staff want to choose their own courses, but we need it organized and trackable. Right now it's a spreadsheet nightmare.
No complicated onboarding. No account reps. Purchase your plan, pick your courses, and start learning today.
Get the BYO Annual plan for $299. One purchase gives you 12 months of access to build your custom CE library from our full catalog of 200+ hours of BACB-approved content.

Special Learning is the only CE provider that builds professional-grade clinical instruments into every webinar. Not supplementary reading. Not slide decks. Actual tools practitioners use in session.
Across 187 courses in the catalog
547 PDFs, editable Word documents, Excel data tracking sheets, and more. Top courses include 9-18 tools each. Every one is yours to keep, adapt, and use with your clients.
ABC data sheets, scatterplots, frequency and duration recording forms. Ready to print or edit for your specific client and setting.
Editable behavior intervention plan templates and behavior support plans. Fill in your client details and you have a working document.
Functional behavior assessment forms, interview guides, and hypothesis development worksheets tied directly to what the course covers.
Session integrity checklists and treatment fidelity forms so you can verify that interventions are being implemented the way they were designed.
Informed consent documents and intake forms developed to meet professional and ethical standards. Adapt them to your agency letterhead.
Skill assessment instruments, treatment planning guides, and structured workbooks that turn what you learned in the video into structured clinical output.
No other CE provider does this.
Standard CE is watch-a-video, pass-a-quiz, get-your-certificate. What you do on Monday morning with a client is up to you. Special Learning courses come with the actual instruments built into the course material. Watch the webinar, download the tools, use them with your clients the next day. That gap between learning something and having something to show for it - we close it.
Choose the plan that fits your schedule: $299/year for the best value, or $49/month for flexible month-to-month access. Both include the full course catalog.
That's $24.92/month. 12 months of access to your custom course selection.
Or browse the course catalog first before purchasing.
Month-to-month flexibility. Cancel anytime. Same full catalog access.
The math speaks for itself.
At Special Learning, individual courses range from $19.99 to $79 each. A typical BCBA needs 32 CEUs per 3-year renewal cycle. Buying per-course at average pricing easily runs $300-$500+ for a full renewal cycle. The BYO Annual plan at $299 gives you 12 months of access to your entire custom selection. For most BCBAs, that's a full renewal cycle for less than the cost of 5-6 individual courses.
Agencies with multi-specialty teams have a CE problem that no fixed bundle solves. BYO was built for exactly this situation.
Your verbal behavior specialist builds a VB-focused library. Your transition coordinator picks transition and school-based courses. Your ethics training lead curates ethics and supervision content. Everyone gets CE that's actually relevant to their caseload.
At $299/seat/year, agency CE budgets become easy to forecast. No per-course variability. No one accidentally spending their whole stipend on a single intensive course. One line item per employee per year.
BACB requires 3 supervised experience hours and ethics CEUs each renewal cycle. The BYO catalog includes dedicated ethics (2022 BACB Ethics Code) and supervision courses so staff can meet those requirements within their custom library.
Special Learning operates in 140+ countries. If your agency has BCBAs working internationally, their CE access and certificates work the same way, anywhere in the world.
Running CE compliance for 12 BCBAs used to mean tracking who bought what from where, chasing down certificate uploads, and hoping nobody forgot their ethics hours. We needed one solution that actually fit what each clinician does.
Agency CE Cost Example
10 BCBAs × per-course buying average: $3,500-$5,000/yr
10 BCBAs × BYO Annual at $299/seat: $2,990/yr
Savings: $500-$2,000+ per year, with better content fit for every clinician.
Here's the honest comparison. Every CE situation is different, but for BCBAs who want to choose their own content, the math almost always points the same direction.

| Works for multi-specialty agencies | Yes - per-seat pricing | Complex to manage | Fixed bundle, poor fit |
Special Learning has spent 16 years building original training content with leading behavior analysts and researchers. These are not repackaged conference talks or generic CE filler. Browse the course catalog above to see specific courses and presenters.
Special Learning is the first BACB ACE provider to integrate AI-powered learning companions using Google NotebookLM. Select courses include an AI companion that answers questions about the material, helps you apply concepts to your cases, and deepens your understanding beyond passive video watching. This is what CE for behavior analysts should have always been.
Special Learning was founded in 2010 with a single mission: make evidence-based ABA training accessible worldwide, regardless of geography or budget. We have been at this longer than most CE providers have existed.
BACB CEU requirements changed in 2023 and are changing again in July 2026. Here's a quick reference so you can build your BYO library around exactly what you need for your next renewal.

| Ethics | 4 CEUs | Must be BACB-approved ethics content |
| Supervision | 3 CEUs | Required if you supervise RBTs or BCaBAs |
| General CEUs | Remaining hours to reach 32 | Any BACB-approved content |
| Total Required | 32 CEUs | Per 3-year recertification cycle |
Starting July 1, 2026, BACB is introducing new requirement categories. Total CEU count remains 32, but the breakdown changes.
