College Diploma - Behavioural Science Technician (C146)

2-Year Undergraduate Diploma

Program Summary

Behavioural Science Technician is a two-year diploma program that provides students with an opportunity to study applied behaviour analysis (ABA) and Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI). These fields of study help prepare students for work that is often related to autism and developmental disabilities. A common misconception about this program is that it involves teaching students counselling and "talk therapy." It does not.

The themes in the program include:
  • Behavioural theory and application
  • Program development
  • Scientific method
  • Ethics and professionalism
  • Diversity
  • General education with an emphasis on practical application in the field
Course work, practicum and employment is often related to autism and developmental disabilities; however, the program also covers behaviour analysis in the areas of dementia, brain injury and mental health.
