Mandated topics

Professional Ethics — 4 h
SupervisionKansas rule (K.A.R. 102-8-9) does not mandate supervision hours; it merely caps hours earned by supervising practicum/intern students at 10. The BACB national standard separately requires 3 supervision CEUs for behavior analysts who supervise.

Home study: No minimum live requirement. Computerized modules/recordings without a posttest, cross-disciplinary offerings, self-directed learning projects, and professional-organization participation are each capped at 10 hours per 2-year period (K.A.R. 102-8-9).

Board notes: Kansas separately licenses behavior analysts (LBA) through the BSRB with its OWN CE rule: 30 hours per 2-year renewal including 4 hours of professional ethics (K.A.R. 102-8-9). No minimum live/synchronous requirement. Self-study/computerized modules without a posttest and several other categories are each capped at 10 hours. This differs from the BACB national standard of 32 CEUs/2 years (including 4 ethics and, for supervisors, 3 supervision CEUs); a BCBA practicing in Kansas must satisfy BOTH the state 30-hour rule and their BACB certification's 32-CEU requirement, so 32 is the effective floor for a Kansas BCBA.
