Study Manuals
PTB’s expertly developed manuals distill complex ABA concepts into clear, structured, and practical resources for exam prep and professional use. Whether you’re preparing for the BCBA® exam, the BCaBA® exam, the QBA® exam, or simply need a concise reference tool, these guides are designed to simplify dense source literature, highlight key concepts with visuals and callouts, and provide quick access to critical knowledge.
From the comprehensive PTB ABA Exam Study Manual – the “other White Book” to the portable PTB Autism Core Competency Manual, each resource is peer-reviewed, student-friendly, and crafted to support both exam success and real-world application. Built for students, new professionals, and seasoned practitioners, PTB manuals make it easier to navigate essential content, strengthen fluency with clinical language, and keep foundational knowledge at your fingertips.
Workshops
PTB’s Workshops are available as a comprehensive, 6-week intensive (with up to 14 weeks of access to online materials, subject to registration) with the Big Exam Prep Workshop. Or, focused on specific Domains as part of the PTB Mini Big series. Both are live and interactive, harnessing PTB’s signature formula for organizing and structuring BCBA® exam prep to break down the BACB® 6th Edition Test Content Outline.
Mock Exams
PTB Mock Exams offer flexibility including a full-scale simulation of the exam (PTB Big Mock Exam), a live interactive option focused on specific TCO Domains (PTB MiniBig), or domain-by-domain Mini Mocks for more targeted prep. Each is peer-reviewed and constructed with clinical and scientific language consistent with the actual exam.
Lecture Series
The PTB Streaming Lecture Series offers more than 18 hours of on-demand audio and video lectures designed to thoroughly cover each Domain of the BACB® 6th Edition Test Content Outline. Presented by PTB Founder Dana Meller (MA, BCBA), each lecture blends university-quality instruction with humor and accessibility to simplify core concepts. Choose individual Domain access for 24 hours, or dive into the full TCO for 7-day or 30-day durations.
