Behavioral Intervention Certification Council

Behavioral Intervention Certification Council The BCAT and BCAP are the only NCCA-accredited autism-specific credentials for ABA professionals.

BICC was established in 2013 to promote the highest standards of treatment for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through the development, implementation, coordination, and evaluation of all aspects of the certification and certification renewal processes. BICC is an independent and autonomous governing body for the Board Certified Autism Technician (BCAT) credential program. The BCAT

is the only certification in the world for behavior therapists that is accredited by the National Commission of Certifying Agencies (NCCA) and also autism-specific. Certification as a BCAT demonstrates autism-specific competency and a commitment to consumer safety by individuals who treat the deficits and behaviors associated with ASD, using the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA) under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, licensed psychologist, or other licensed professional acting within the scope of his or her license. Currently, just over 800 individuals across the United States and internationally are certified to use the BCAT designation. That number is expected to grow rapidly as a result of the new accreditation by NCCA and the fact that Tricare is now accepting the BCAT credential.

Our Story

BICC was established in 2013 to promote the highest standards of treatment for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through the development, implementation, coordination, and evaluation of all aspects of the certification and certification renewal processes. BICC is an independent and autonomous governing body for the Board Certified Autism Technician (BCAT) and Board Certified Autism Professtional (BCAP) credential program. The BCAT and the BCAP are the only certifications in the world for behavior therapists that are accredited by the National Commission of Certifying Agencies (NCCA) and also autism-specific. BICC certifications demonstrates autism-specific competency and a commitment to consumer safety by individuals who treat the deficits and behaviors associated with ASD, using the principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA). BCATs function under the supervision of a Board Certified Autism Professional, Board Certified Behavior Analyst, licensed psychologist, or other licensed professional acting within the scope of their license.

The BCAT is a two-year certification which means less time spent on non-billable administration of annual recertification. BCATs are required to have 15 hours of experience working with individuals diagnosed with ASD. Additionally, BCATs are required to obtain 12 CEs, three of which should be directly related to ethics. BICC required background checks with ongoing monitoring for all certificants. Both the BCAT and BCAP exams can be taken onsite at provider offices or remotely; no need to drive to testing centers.
