Important Disclaimer: While the BCBA certification is valid in all 50 states, many states also require licensure of behavior analysts. State laws related to licensure of behavior analysts vary and do not necessarily reflect the same requirements as the BCBA certification. Applicants should be knowledgeable about licensure requirements in the state in which they may plan to apply for licensure.
