How long will I have access to a CEU module?

Your access to a module does not expire or have a time limit. Generally, modules will remain available for as long as you keep your CEUniverse account. For example, you could purchase a CEU module today, but not complete it until 5 years later. The completion date on your certificate of completion will be based on when you actually complete the module (and not your purchase date). On rare occasions we may need to remove a module if it becomes outdated or if there are licensing issues. In such cases, we will notify you of the change in advance.

What kind of proof of completion will I receive?

You will be able to download a certificate of completion immediately upon completion of a module. You can also download a CEU transcript from the myLearning dashboard that documents all of the CEU modules you have completed on CEUniverse.

How do I access the CEU modules I’ve purchased?

Any learning modules you purchase can be accessed from the myLearning dashboard .

Can I repeat a module for CEUs?

No (at least not for recertification purposes). Although you are certainly welcome to repeat a CEU module you have already completed on CEUniverse, it cannot count toward recertification twice because it does not serve the goal of expanding your knowledge or skills.

Can I get a refund if I don't like a module?

Yes, we issue refunds for our modules within 30 days of the original purchase of the product. You are eligible for full reimbursement only if you have not completed the module. Please contact us for assistance if you experience any issues accessing or using our modules.

Is CEUniverse approved to offer CEUs?

Yes! CEUniverse has been approved by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board® to offer continuing education for BCBAs and BCaBAs since 2010 (#OP-10-2021). From 2010 to 2023 were we approved under the name of our parent company, FoxyLearning. You may also be able to use our modules for other purposes or credentialing agencies by asking them. We are happy to work with you to produce a custom certificate of completion if you need it.

Abstract

This article presents a case study in the misrepresentation of applied behavior analysis for autism based on Morton Ann Gernsbacher’s presentation of a lecture titled ‘‘The Science of Autism: Beyond the Myths and Misconceptions.’’ Her misrepresentations involve the characterization of applied behavior analysis, descriptions of practice guidelines, reviews of the treatment literature, presentations of the clinical trials research, and conclusions about those trials (e.g., children’s improvements are due to development, not applied behavior analysis). The article also reviews applied behavior analysis’ professional endorsements and research support, and addresses issues in professional conduct. It ends by noting the deleterious effects that misrepresenting any research on autism (e.g., biological, developmental, behavioral) have on our understanding and treating it in a transdisciplinary context.

This was a very interesting article that reinforced my belief that we must look deeper into any claims that appear to be biased.

Too much reading. Out dated article. The program glitched and didn't record my quiz. You spend more hours than you should completing your CEU's. Did not like this vendor lessons, and refunded.

It is true that some research articles are long and require a lot of reading. It is also true that not all articles were published in the past couple of years, but that does not mean they are "outdated" or of little value. In fact, there are articles that were published many DECADES ago that I would still recommend to BCBAs. As for the quiz glitch, we were trying to help you with that, but you declined to cooperate and demanded a refund instead (which we promptly granted). The hours you spend completing our CEUs corresponds roughly to the number of CEUs you are awarded (i.e., 50 min per CEU). You may not like that, but we are just following the BACB's guidelines for continuing education.
