COURSE OVERVIEW

The Introduction to Applied Behaviour Analysis course provides an overview of Applied
Behaviour Analysis (ABA) foundational theory, with an emphasis on practical applications
to prepare you to implement ABA principles. This course covers instructional tools to teach
new behaviors as well as a basic understanding of the four functions of behavior and
basic behavior intervention technologies. This course is designed for school support staff,
teachers, educators, parents and other professionals.

As this course is an introductory level course, it is important to take and successfully
complete this course before registering for the Registered Behavior Technician Course.
An RBT course will be offered shortly after the ABA is completed.
What is ABA?
WHAT IS ABA?
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) is the science of human behaviour in which “principles
of the science of behavior are applied systematically to improve socially significant
behaviour” (Cooper, Heron & Heward, 2019). In other words, the science of ABA aims
to understand why a behavior is occurring to better understand it as well as to teach
new behaviors when appropriate. The principles of ABA can be applied to a variety of
populations and has many sub-specialities such as: autism and intellectual/developmental
disabilities, behavioral gerontology, behavior pediatrics, sports, brain injury rehabilitation,
prevention/intervention in child maltreatment, clinical behavior analysis, education,
health & fitness, organizational behavior management (OBM), sustainability and treatment
of substance use disorders.

Attendance at and full participation in all 30 hours of training is required. Students will
be allowed to miss one class but will be responsible for learning the material for the final
exam. Three of the 30 hours is reserved for the final exam.

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will receive an “Attestation
of Training: ABA Training. Please note that this does not equate being a certified ABA
instructor, nor a certification in ABA.
