Program Overview

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can affect an individual’s ability to communicate, socialize and function effectively at home, school and in their community. Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) can be used to develop new skills including language, social and play skills, self-help skills, academics, motor skills, life skills and appropriate behaviour.

Students in this highly specialized program learn to use a variety of evidence-based approaches to develop the skills of individuals with ASD across the lifespan by reviewing relevant literature, developing intervention plans, implementing programs, and collecting data to ensure intervention strategies effectively meet established goals.

Graduates:

  • Understand the characteristics of the full spectrum of ASD and how human development occurs in the neuro-typical population;
  • Know the range of evidence-based practices in autism treatment;
  • Know how to complete curriculum-based assessments and functional assessments;
  • Can plan, implement, and monitor interventions based on these assessment results;
  • Know the ethical and professional requirements of working in the field of ABA
  • Show leadership in the workplace by contributing knowledge and skills for practical solutions related to the treatment of ASD.

As this is a graduate certificate program, students can expect an intensive workload. Classes combine theory with active learning experiences and group work. Field placements are available in a range of settings and some may require the use of a vehicle.
