Program Overview: This fully virtual 13-hour program includes three self-paced courses (RUBI Foundations, RUBI Core Sessions, Caregiver Engagement), a live capstone session, and a final exam. Through the courses, practitioners learn approaches to create effective, family-centered RUBI intervention plans. During the live capstone, learners receive additional guidance and support on clinical application of the RUBI program, with a focus on applied learning. Learners also participate in a fidelity review by submitting a video of themselves implementing a RUBI session with a confederate (practice person). This video is then reviewed, and individualized feedback is provided to support effective RUBI implementation.
Course Outcomes: Learners who successfully complete the RUBI Program will receive a certificate of completion and relevant continuing education units. Learners will also receive the designation of “RUBI Trained Practitioner” and will be listed on the RUBI Network website. Finally, learners will have ongoing access to live office hours with RUBI Certified Trainers to answer questions as needed.

Upon completion of the RUBI ACP, the expectation is that a RUBI Certified Practitioner is not only ready to deliver RUBI clinically to a diverse range of families with high fidelity but also can act as an in-house “Train-the-Trainer” at their site of practice. This includes the ability to lead comprehensive in-house training on RUBI principles and strategies for practitioners at their practice site, ensuring adherence to program standards and promoting continuous improvement in practice.
