Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies

05/20/2026

The Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies recently welcomed trustees, presenters, and emerging leaders from across the field for our 2026 Annual Meeting of the Trustees.

From engaging presentations and meaningful discussions to time spent connecting together, the meeting reflected the collaboration and forward-thinking spirit that continues to shape the future of behavioral studies.

We were especially excited to see so many new and younger faces participating this year, bringing fresh perspectives and energy to the Center’s mission.

More photos coming!

We’re excited to announce that The Applied Behavior Analysis Center was included for the first time in the BACB® 2025 RBT Examination Pass Rates report.

Our results:
• 82.1% first-time RBT exam pass rate
• 32 of 39 candidates passed on their first attempt

When comparing training providers with more than 15 but fewer than 200 first-time candidates, our program ranked approximately #7 nationally by pass rate.

We’re especially proud of this comparison because it reflects performance among similarly sized programs — excluding both very small cohorts and massive national platforms — making it a meaningful measure of training quality and consistency.

We’re also incredibly grateful for the feedback we received from trainees and supervisors who used Version 25 of our Behavior Technicians in Adult Service Settings 40+ hour course. We took that feedback seriously and used it to make meaningful improvements as we developed the 2026 version.

We currently offer demo appointments for organizations interested in learning more about the platform, course structure, and bulk pricing options.

Interested? Contact us at [email protected].

Thank you to everyone who has helped build and strengthen our program. We’re excited for what’s ahead.



Instructors: John Guercio PhD, BCBA-D, NADD-CC, Natalie M. Driscoll, PhD, and Adrienne Fitzer, PhD
