In memory of the life and contributions of Michael Hemingway, the BACB annually honors an individual distinguished for his or her contributions (a) to the development of public policy related to behavior analysis and/or (b) to increasing the availability of behavior-analytic services. The Behavior Analyst Certification Board is pleased to call for nominations for the 2019 award. Nominations will be accepted through 5:00 PM MST on Friday, October 26, 2018.

August examination results are being released as of 4:00 pm on September 21 and will be available in your BACB Gateway account within 72 hours. Please keep in mind that it takes time for everything to process, so you may not receive your results at the same time as others. If you passed the examination, your certification number will be available in your BACB Gateway Account within the next week and your certificate will be sent to the address in your Gateway Account later in October. In the meantime, we are experiencing high call volumes and wait times, as well as large amounts of website traffic. We appreciate your patience during this time and will respond to everyone as quickly as possible.

We are excited to announce the availability of a new video that provides a brief overview of behavior analysis for the general public. We hope you find this resource helpful when communicating with others about our discipline. Visit About Behavior Analysis to view the video.
