Students who meet admission requirements will be excited to know that they can now branch out into the publicly demanded and personally rewarding field of Autism and Behavioural Science. This program has an emphasis on how to design and implement effective behavioural treatment plans by applying and learning the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and Intensive Behaviour Intervention (IBI).
Gain hands-on experience throughout the program, with open access to Lambton College’s Early Childhood Education lab school. This unique experience translates well to future employers and is a great skills-building opportunity for students prior to field placement.
Students will enjoy the unique Wednesday through Friday delivery model. This model makes part-time employment more manageable and creates more time for study. It also reduces commuting time for traveling students and is beneficial to field placement scheduling.
Let our passionate faculty, who are all active staff within the autism services sector, ensure your education in Autism and Behavioural Science is a positive and successful one!
