It is ultimately the responsibility of the individual seeking continuing education to confirm that their board accepts the Center for Adolescent Studies, Inc’s approvals. Individual boards may change their criteria at their discretion.

Note: those seeking continuing education should also check with their boards to determine if they accept APA and ASWB CE approvals, even if they are not Psychologists or Social Workers. Some boards of other disciplines accept such approvals. For example, the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS), which dismantled their in-house CEU approval process, accepts CE from other jurisdictions. Per BBS: “The new regulations designate approval agencies recognized by the Board [added: such as ASWB and APA] to approve CE providers, courses, and instructors.” The CA BBS accepts CE from both APA and ASWB, both of which the Center for Adolescent Studies, Inc. is approved by. Questions regarding continuing education may be directed via email, to BBS.ContinuingEd@dca.ca.gov – For further information see http://www.bbs.ca.gov/pdf/forms/licensee_ce_faqs_102014.pdf
