Overview

Graduate Certificate - Autism and Behavioural Science

This program at Mohawk College will use behaviour analysis to teach socially significant skills to improve the quality of life for individuals with autism and their families.

Program Highlights

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neuro-developmental disorder that affects 1 in 66 individuals in Canada. 

ASD can affect an individual’s ability to communicate and interact socially, and they often engage in repetitive/ restricted behaviours. ASD is a spectrum. 

Therefore, the degree to which an individual experiences these challenges will vary. 

The Association for Behavior Analysis International has verified the following courses toward the coursework requirements for eligibility to take the Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst® examination. 

Applicants must meet additional requirements before being deemed eligible to take the examination.

What you'll learn

  • Apply evidence-based treatments and how they are used to teach individuals with autism.
  • Design, implement and evaluate treatment plans using behavioural strategies.
  • Comprehend and respond to the needs of family members.
  • Train caregivers to implement techniques with their children.
  • Develop an understanding of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) in the intensive behaviour intervention application with children with autism.
  • Some more language that speaks to the neurodiverse clients we serve along with the ASD population, especially as we may be preparing for regulation
