✦ Our Story

About Outside the Box Trainings

A digital education platform built for the behavioral health workforce
 — because your CE credits shouldn't put you to sleep.
6

✦ A Division of OTB Learning Group, LLC

Outside the Box Trainings is a digital education platform built for Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT®s), Applied Behavior Analysis Technicians (ABAT®s), International Behavior Therapists (IBT®s), Lead Analysts, and the broader behavioral health workforce — because your CE credits shouldn’t put you to sleep.

We build self-paced training that bridges evidence-based practice with real-world application. Practical examples, culturally responsive instruction, and learning that meets you where you actually are — not where a textbook from 2003 thinks you should be. Scenarios you’ll recognize from your actual caseload? You know it.

Nikeda Stanback
Founder & CEO

M.Ed. BCBA LBA IBA CBHCMS

❝

Our founder Nikeda Stanback is a BCBA with over 10 years of experience who has spent the last 6 years building and scaling ABA companies across three states — and most recently expanding into behavioral health case management services. She knows what works in the field because she’s built the teams, written the protocols, credentialed the companies, and sat in the same trainings that made everyone’s eyes glaze over.

Outside the Box exists because behavioral health professionals deserve better — and because continuing education should actually continue your education.

Nikeda is also the inspiration behind Nikki — her AI teaching twin and digital counterpart who shows up in every course, every module, and every PDU. Same expertise. Same unapologetic style. Same commitment to making sure you actually learn something. Nikki doesn’t call in sick, doesn’t rush, doesn’t wear boring outfits — and the hairstyle is always on point.
