Description

Introduction to Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) (5-day course)

ABA has been widely reviewed and accepted as an effective method of teaching students with ASD. The Introduction to Applied Behaviour Analysis course provides an overview of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) history and theory, with an emphasis on practical applications to prepare you to implement ABA principles in the school setting. This course covers positive behavioural interventions and supports, data collection, discrete trial teaching, task analysis, generalization of skills to the home and community, and much more!

We include opportunities to participate in practical hands-on activities and application exercises so that you may confidently apply the concepts and strategies into your setting. By the end of this course, you will be equipped with knowledge and tools to implement ABA strategies and techniques into an instructional program that can benefit students along the ASD spectrum.

This 5-day, 30-hour, intensive practical course is offered to teachers, paraprofessionals, and other educational staff working at any grade level (K – 12) to support students with ASD in developing their social, academic, and adaptive skills.
