BRI Home | AISCB Requirements | Fees | How to Apply
Maintaining Registration | Terminated Registrations | Code of Ethics

Terminated Registration

Registration will be terminated for the following:

  • Failure to pay the biennial registration fee.
  • Failure to apply for an extension prior to the expiration date.
  • Failure to comply with the conditions of an extension by the deadline.
  • Failure to document 15 continuing education units (CEUs) over the two-year period of registration and no request for extension or payment plan.
  • Ethics violations.
  • Failure to maintain license or registration.

The AISCB will give written notice at least 30 days before the registration expires.

All requests for re-instatement must be put in writing to the Board of Directors of the AISCB. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted. A written response will be sent to the member.


Inactive Status

The AISCB has established an Inactive Status to allow interventionists, experiencing extenuating circumstances, to prevent their registration from expiring. It has been established for interventionists who expect to be inactive for more than two years. Inactive Status allows the interventionist to avoid the full reapplication process.

Interventionists are eligible for Inactive Status if:

  • They are registered and in good standing, i.e., current with fees and continuing education units.
  • They are no longer working in the intervention field.
  • They are retired.
  • They are on extended military active duty.
  • They have health complications.
  • They have extenuating personal reasons.

Insufficient hours of continuing education will not be accepted as rationale for requesting inactive status. Board registrations placed on inactive status are not eligible for reciprocity.

During the period of inactive status, the interventionist is considered to be without AISCB registration. Such interventionists cannot refer to themselves in writing or verbally as "Registered Interventionists."


Procedure for Obtaining Inactive Status:
  • Request Inactive Status in writing from the AISCB stating the specific reason(s) for requesting inactive status.
  • Include documentation for eligibility in the request for inactive status.
  • Surrender current original intervention board registration to the AISCB. The interventionist will receive a letter acknowledging the registration number is inactive.
  • Pay a biennial $20.00 fee.

Procedure for Reinstating a Board Registration for Interventionists Who Have Left the Field but Wish to Reinstate Their Registration Before Two Years Have Lapsed:

  • Send written request for reinstatement to the AISCB.
  • Payment of appropriate registration fees based on level of registration.
  • Payment of reapplication fee.
  • Provide documentation of current employment.
  • Provide documentation of current CEU experience.

Procedure for Reinstating a Board Registration for Interventionists Who Wish to Reinstate Their Registration and Have Been on Inactive Status for More Than Two Years:

  • Send written request for reinstatement to the AISCB.
  • Payment of appropriate registration fees based on level of registration.
  • Payment of reapplication fee.
  • Submit current job description. This must be on agency letterhead, signed and dated by the interventionist and his/her current supervisor and include the amount of time spent in direct service.

Disciplinary Review Process

Registered Interventionists hold a unique position of trust and responsibility and must be aware at all times of the ethical requirements imposed on them as a result of this special position.

The AISCB has established a disciplinary review process to file complaints about the ethical conduct of an AISCB registered professional or applicant. Through this process a professional or applicant may make a good-faith dispute and respond to such complaints. This system is used to adjudicate complaints that have been found to be insolvable through other means. Prior to employing the process, persons are encouraged to attempt to resolve the situation through other means, i.e., personally with the intervention professional or through the interventionist's supervisor/employing agency. If this means fails or does not satisfactorily resolve the circumstances, the disciplinary review process may be the appropriate vehicle to address the complaint.
