The Disability and Applied Behaviour Analysis credential is a 15-credit advanced citation (post diploma/degree) that provides graduates with comprehensive knowledge and skills in the application of applied behaviour analysis (ABA) within a disability context. This credential is intended to build on lower-level coursework and to present a consistent professional standard of education and qualifications via specialized courses. The program is built on the principles of ABA, an evidence-based and scientific approach to changing human behaviour.
The Disability and Applied Behaviour Analysis credential also has the distinct advantage of being the only bachelor-level program in BC approved by both the Behavior Analyst Certification Board® (BACB) and the Teacher Qualification Service (TQS). These approvals make the credential highly attractive to professionals aspiring to become Board Certified Associate Behavior Analysts (BCABA) and/or K-to-12 teachers working toward a higher pay level and specialized knowledge base. |
