Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) involves the use of well-established and empirically supported principles to address behavioral concerns and facilitate skill acquisition. ABA has been empirically shown to be effective in a wide variety of areas and has received the most recognition for its success in designing and providing behavioral support for individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities.
Our program meets the behavior-analytic coursework requirements for those pursuing the BCaBA Pathway 2 eligibility route. In addition to coursework, the BCaBA certification requires a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university, and additional hours of supervised practice.
