Two components this page used to list are not available at present. The RBT 2.0 Online Training Course and the RBT Exam Prep (Simulation Exams & Test Banks) are both switched off, so this package does not include them. The price of this package has not changed. If you bought this package expecting either one, email us at contact@special-learning.com and we will make it right.

What this training does, and what it does not do.

Special Learning is a continuing education provider approved by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB ACE Provider #OP-14-2437). This product is PA IBHS training. It does not award BACB CEUs.

If you are working on the INITIAL 30 hours, five of the eight required topics must come from elsewhere. This product is not initial-30 training. But 55 Pa. Code § 5240.73(c) requires a BHT with no prior BHT experience to complete at least 30 hours of Department-approved training covering eight specified topics before providing services independently, and we cannot supply five of the eight:

• Child Protective Services Law and mandated reporting — § 5240.73(c)(1). Pennsylvania accepts this only from a Department-listed organization. Act 31 Online Training is provided by the University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work (3 hours): https://www.socialwork.pitt.edu/researchtraining/child-welfare-programs/act-31-line-training
• Crisis intervention skills, including risk management, de-escalation techniques and safety planning — § 5240.73(c)(2)
• Child and adolescent development — § 5240.73(c)(4)
• Serious emotional disturbance and other behavioral and psychosocial needs — § 5240.73(c)(5)
• First aid, universal precautions and safety — § 5240.73(c)(7). Pennsylvania accepts this only from the American Heart Association, American Red Cross, National Safety Council, ASHI, Medic First Aid or the Emergency Care & Safety Institute. We are not on any of those lists.

We do not hold your training records with the Department and we cannot tell you whether you have met § 5240.73(c). Whether your agency accepts any training toward it is determined by your agency under § 5240.13(c). Please confirm with them.

The trainings listed below are not a complete statement of what Pennsylvania requires of you. They are common additional requirements, not the remainder of your obligations. Your employer and your OMHSAS licensing representative are the authority on what your role and your staff record need.

Not sure which requirement you are on? Email us and we will tell you plainly, including when the answer is that this product is not the right one for you.
