Program Description

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neuro-developmental disorder that affects 1 in 66 individual in Canada. ASD can affect an individual’s ability to communicate, socially interact and will often engage in repetitive/ restricted behaviours. ASD is a spectrum therefore the degree to which an individual experiences these challenges will vary. The Association for Behavior Analysis International has verified the following courses toward the coursework requirements for eligibility to take the Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst® examination. Applicants will need to meet additional requirements before they can be deemed eligible to take the examination. What you'll learn Apply evidence-based treatments and how they are used to teach individuals with autism. Design, implement and evaluate treatment plans using behavioural strategies. Comprehend and respond to needs of family members. Train caregivers to implement techniques with their children. Develop an understanding of the field of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), in the intensive behaviour intervention application with children with autism. Some more language that speaks to the neurodiverse clients we serve along with the ASD population especially as we may be preparing for regulation
