Like you, I spend more time deleting messages than reading them these days, so I’ll cut right to the chase—if you’re looking to get the most out of your professional development (without burning out or breaking the bank), I’ve pulled together some strategies and resources that might just make your life a little easier.
Making Every CEU Count
We all know the drill: the BACB clock keeps
ticking, and suddenly it’s time to load up on CEUs. But instead of scrambling at the last minute, how about taking a more strategic approach? Here’s what I’ve found works best for busy BCBAs:
- Pick Topics That Fill Real Gaps: Focus on areas that actually make your day-to-day practice easier (think functional assessment, supervision, or school-based interventions).
- Mix Up Your Formats: Podcasts, on-demand webinars, and live events tend to be
experienced differently. Try a mix so you’re not stuck in a rut. (that's me presenting at the Vermont ABA conference last Saturday... what a fun event!).
