Program Description
George Brown College's Autism and Behavioural Science Program was developed in response to the growing public concern about services for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD).It was designed to deepen the expertise in the field of autism and behavioural sciences for application within the children’s sector, and simultaneously create a pool of qualified individuals to meet the needs of service agencies that provide autism or children’s services.This Autism and Behavioural Science program enables graduates with university degrees and graduates of Early Childhood Education, Social Service Worker, Child and Youth Care, Developmental Service Worker and similar programs to acquire the specialized skills and expertise they need to work with individuals with a diagnosis of autism.Autism and Behavioural Science students learn about:
- Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
- intervention methods including Intensive Behavioural Intervention (IBI)
- Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) theory (e.g., operant conditioning)
- working with families and treatment teams
- relevant legislation

AUTISM AND BEHAVIOURAL SCIENCE PROGRAM FEATURES
- Full-time and part-time faculty who have extensive experience in ABA, IBI and ASD.
- Well-established relationships with agencies providing services for individuals with a diagnosis of autism.
Your Field Education Options
Each field experience opportunity in George Brown's Autism and Behavioural Science Program has been designed to reinforce classroom theory within an actual setting where students could ultimately find work.In semester 1, the field placement experience is three weeks long. During that time, students will visit an agency partner (e.g., ABA centre, school, residential home, daycare settings, etc.) to observe an individual with autism.During semester 2, field placement is seven weeks long. Students will go to an agency partner where they will not only observe an individual with autism, but will be required to identify a target behaviour and develop a treatment plan accordingly.
Program Learning Outcomes
The graduate demonstrates the ability to:
- Assess and analyze the characteristics, skills and behaviour of individuals with ASD to effectively implement evidence-based behavioural interventions.
- Design and implement effective behavioural intervention plans under appropriate supervision and based on the principles of Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA).
- Evaluate the effectiveness of behavioural intervention plans based on the principles of ABA.
- Work collaboratively with families, teams, service providers and the broader community to respond to the learning and behavioural needs of individuals with ASD.
- Design, implement and evaluate as part of a team ABA-based transition plans for individuals with ASD.
- Comply with established ethical principles and professional guidelines.
- Provide leadership in the promotion and provision of services to meet the needs of individuals with ASD and their families.
- Evaluate empirical evidence in order to select appropriate interventions for individuals with ASD.
