Overview

Learn to work one-on-one with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in family homes or specialized centres through the Behaviour Intervention Certificate program at Douglas. You'll learn Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) methodology and how to use it in your work. Gain the knowledge, skills and values necessary to be an effective frontline practitioner and team member through this part-time, online program.  

You’ll be equipped as a Behaviour Interventionist who can implement behavioural support plans developed by a qualified Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) practitioner.  

All courses are taught online by Board Certified Behaviour Analysts who are highly experienced in working with children who have autism. With provincial funding available to families of children with ASD, graduates of this program are in extremely high demand. 

Job opportunities

Surveys show that 87 percent of our Behaviour Intervention graduates are working in the field after graduation. (Source: B.C. Student Outcomes).
