Program description
As the number of Ontarians affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) rises, so does the demand for trained experts who can provide effective interventions to help those affected by the disorder and their loved ones.
Students in this program, which serves children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings, will learn to apply the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis to the collaborative design, execution, and assessment of successful behavioural intervention plans.
Two supervised field placements will provide them with additional practical training.
