Midwest Symposium is an ACE provider and will offer Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) Type 2 CEUs from the Behavior Analyst Certification Board. The 2026 Richard L. Simpson Conference on Autism will offer a maximum of 8.5 CEUs through Thursday and Friday of the event. A flat rate of $70 will be charged for the event regardless of the number of sessions attended.
