Program Overview

Behaviour analysis is the science of understanding behaviour. Therapies and strategies derived from the science have a wealth of evidence showing the effectiveness in helping people learn new skills as well as reducing behaviours that may be harmful to them or others. Behaviour analysis has been recognised as an effective intervention and educational provision for many clinical (e.g., autism) or non-clinical (industry) populations. With the growing prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorders (now estimated to be 1:36) behaviour analysis has experienced a significant rise in popularity with many behaviour analysts working with this population.
