Uplifting ABA Academy
Professional education systems for ABA organizations.
Professionally developed training systems, caregiver education curricula, and clinical reasoning resources — authored by a practicing BCBA to help organizations standardize education and reduce the time spent creating materials from scratch.
Solutions
How we help ABA organizations.
Most organizations do not lack clinical expertise. They lack time, and a single place where their education materials live. Everything we publish arrives finished, editable, and built to be used across an organization rather than rebuilt each year by whoever is available.
Staff Development
Standardized onboarding, professional development, annual refreshers, and training documentation for RBTs, trainers, and supervisors.
Published asUplifting ABA AcademyCaregiver Education
A complete bilingual curriculum so every family receives the same quality of education, in the language they actually speak at home.
Published asThe Empowered Parent Collection™Clinical Reasoning
Case-based development for student analysts, newly certified BCBAs, university programs, and the supervisors who train them.
Published asThe BCBA Residency™What we publish
Three collections, built to work together.
Each collection stands on its own. Used together they share structure, terminology, and formatting, so an organization can adopt one and add the others without retraining anyone on a new system.

Who it's forOrganizations standardizing caregiver education across clinicians, and any clinic serving Spanish-speaking families.
A bilingual caregiver education curriculum of forty-one topics across seven organized units, published in English and in Spanish. The Spanish edition was authored for families rather than machine-translated — a distinction that is immediately obvious to the parents reading it. Covers communication, behavior, routines, toileting, feeding, sleep, sensory needs, school collaboration, siblings, puberty, safety, community outings, travel, and major life changes.
Included resources41 caregiver education topics · 82 English and Spanish resources · 7 curriculum units · Professionally branded and ready for immediate use
Deliver consistent caregiver education across every clinician and both languages.

Who it's forStudent analysts, newly certified BCBAs, supervisors, and university programs.
Graduate school teaches content. The BCBA Residency develops clinical judgment. A case-based curriculum built around the decisions analysts actually face — how to reason through a presentation, defend a recommendation, communicate with a family, and lead a team — rather than what to copy from a template.
Included resourcesClinical Reasoning Curriculum · Case-Based Learning · Fieldwork Companion · Goal Stack · Goal Bank · Supervisor Resources · New BCBA Toolkit · Insurance and medical necessity guidance
Develop the reasoning behind clinical decisions, not just the documentation.

Why Uplifting ABA Academy
Published, not assembled.
Every resource is written to be handed to a trainer, opened, and taught — with the structure, documentation, and editable formats an organization needs to run it more than once.
Authored by a practicing BCBA
Written from active clinical and operational practice — treatment planning, reassessments, supervision, and payer documentation — rather than adapted from coursework.
Bilingual by authorship
Spanish resources are written for Spanish-speaking families, not run through translation. Families notice the difference, and so do the clinicians using them.
Editable formats
Organizations receive materials they can adapt as they grow, add locations, or refine their own clinical standards.
Organization-wide licensing
Licensed for the whole organization rather than per seat, so training a new cohort next year doesn't cost more than it did this year.
Designed to work together
Shared structure, terminology, and formatting across all three collections, so adopting a second one requires no retraining.
Custom editions
Custom editions can be commissioned when an organization needs something the published catalog doesn't yet cover.
Authorship
All Uplifting ABA Academy resources are authored by Ricardo de la Peña, M.A., BCBA, LBA — a practicing behavior analyst and co-owner of a multidisciplinary pediatric therapy clinic, with roughly a decade of experience across early intervention, severe behavior reduction, functional communication training, feeding, caregiver training, and RBT supervision.
