How many BACB CE credits does Breakthrough ADHD Training offer?

Breakthrough ADHD Training for Behavior Analysts™ offers 4.5 BACB continuing education learning event credits (general). To receive CE credits, you must attend all three live class sessions, complete all three online tutorials, and meet all attendance and participation requirements.

How do I earn the microcredential?

To earn the Breakthrough ADHD Training microcredential, you must: (1) Attend all three live class sessions, (2) Complete all three online tutorials, (3) Submit a competency assessment within 60 days based on provided case studies or your own de-identified client case, and (4) Demonstrate competency as evaluated by the instructor. The microcredential is included at no additional cost and is issued as a digital badge via Hyperstack Credential Cloud™.

What makes this training different from other BCBA continuing education?

Unlike traditional CE webinars, this training is: (1) Competency-based with real-world application requirements, (2) Gamified with interactive tutorials like Asteroid Blaster and Stop Signal instead of boring lectures, (3) Hybrid format mixing live cohort sessions with self-paced tutorials, (4) Focused on executive function assessment rather than compliance-based interventions, (5) Includes a stackable professional microcredential at no extra cost, and (6) Provides lifetime license to use the proprietary Executive Function Roadmap for ADHD™ assessment tool.

What are the interactive tutorial games?

The training includes gamified learning modules: (1) Dodge Ball - Meet the case study children, (2) Asteroid Blaster - Build knowledge of the four executive function domains while racing through space, (3) Stop Signal - Learn impulse control while racing a bike and collecting stars, and (4) Daily Challenges - Experience common ADHD obstacles to understand executive function challenges. These games make learning active and engaging rather than passive lecture-watching.

Who is eligible to enroll in this training?

This training is designed for qualified behavior analysts (BCaBA® or BCBA®) with experience working with at least one current ADHD client/student and at least 3 months of experience with that client. You should be ready to move beyond compliance-based interventions and want to specialize in ADHD assessment and support.

How is the training delivered?

The training uses a hybrid learning model: some weeks feature live virtual sessions with the whole cohort, other weeks you complete online tutorials or break into smaller groups. Cohorts are matched by similarities in geography/time zone, setting (e.g., school, clinic), and client demographics for more relevant peer discussion. The format includes 3 live sessions, 3 interactive tutorials, and optional virtual office hours.

What happens if I can't attend a live session?

You must attend all three scheduled online class sessions to receive full course benefits. Class sessions cannot be rescheduled or made up for individual participants. The complete schedule is provided upon registration to allow advance planning. Failure to attend all sessions may result in forfeiture of CE credits and the microcredential.

What is the refund policy?

Full refunds (minus payment processing fees) are available for cancellation requests received seven or more calendar days prior to the first class session. No refunds are issued for cancellations less than seven days before the course or after it has commenced. In cases of documented emergency, you may receive credit toward a future course offering.

Can I use the Executive Function Roadmap after completing the training?

Yes! After completing the training and demonstrating competency, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Executive Function Roadmap for ADHD™ assessment tool in your individual professional practice. This license includes proper attribution requirements to Applied Behavioral Health Practice.

From Undiagnosed to Expert Advocate

Ryan Baker-Barrett is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst with over 20 years of experience in applied behavior analysis. But his journey to becoming an ADHD specialist took an unexpected turn.

At age 37, Ryan was diagnosed with ADHD—after years of working as a BCBA and even taking continuing education courses on ADHD that didn't help him recognize his own symptoms. This experience, combined with raising two sons with ADHD, transformed his entire approach to behavioral intervention.

Credentials & Experience

Master's Degree in Special Education, Utah State University (Summa Cum Laude)
Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)
20+ Years serving students across Maryland, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and California
Founder of Applied Behavioral Health Practice (San Diego, 2024)
Community Advocate - Community Advisory Committee for Special Education, San Diego

Lived Experience Meets Professional Expertise

Ryan brings a unique perspective as someone who:

Lives with ADHD and understands the challenges firsthand
Parents two boys with ADHD and knows the frustration of finding inadequate support
Witnessed transformations when executive function is properly addressed

"How would I want someone to approach me in this situation?"

This simple question transformed how Ryan designs interventions. Instead of focusing on compliance or "fixing" behaviors, he focuses on building the executive function skills that allow independence, self-advocacy, and genuine progress.
