Program Overview
The two-year Behavioural Science Technician (C146) diploma program will teach you the science of behavioural change, otherwise known as Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). In this field of study, students will learn behavioural principles, practice assessment and intervention procedures, and develop professional skills to seek employment in a variety of workplaces (autism, mental health, gerontology, acquired brain injury, organizational behaviour management, sport, etc.)
Please note that this program does not teach counselling or "talk therapy."
The themes studied in the Behavioural Science Technician program include:
- Behavioural theory
- Behavioural assessment
- Scientific method
- Ethics and professionalism
- Behavioural acquisition and reduction strategies
- General education with an emphasis on practical application in the field
The Behavioural Science Technician coursework and placement experiences prepare students for direct implementation roles in a variety of settings.
Students who elect to transfer to our degree program and/or continue their education in behaviour analysis may find employment opportunities with additional responsibilities.
