Are there required CE topics for BCBA in Connecticut?
Yes. Connecticut requires the following CE topics for BCBA: Ethics (4 h); Supervision (3 h); Screening for PTSD, suicide risk, depression and grief plus suicide prevention (2 h).
Can BCBA CE be completed online in Connecticut?
Generally yes — Connecticut does not require live or interactive hours for BCBA, so approved online / home-study CE can typically satisfy the requirement. Home-study note: No state cap; BACB permits recorded/online (learning) ACE CEUs. Note: effective July 1, 2026, BACB asynchronous CE must include at least 3 knowledge-check questions per CEU..
What else should BCBA renewals know in Connecticut?
Connecticut separately licenses behavior analysts (DPH Licensed Behavior Analyst). The CT license is renewed ANNUALLY and requires (1) evidence of current BACB certification and (2) the 2-hour PTSD/suicide-risk/depression/grief screening and suicide-prevention training at first renewal and at least once every six years thereafter. The 32 CEU / 2-year figure (incl. 4 ethics, plus supervision CEUs for supervisors) is the national BACB recertification standard the CT license depends on, not a separate CT hour count. Connecticut imposes no unique ethics, cultural-competency or veterans training beyond the statutory suicide/PTSD module.
