A Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) is a teacher or other professional who is able to use the principles of learning in order to address the learning and behavioural needs of widely varying individuals in diverse settings.
Some students in ECPS complete an approved course sequence that is required for the BCBA credential, as part of their masters program in special education.
In addition to completing the courses at UBC, people who wish to attain this credential must complete a specified number of supervised practice hours and pass a qualifying exam.
Congratulations to Drs. Joe Lucsyhyn, Pat Mirenda, and the sessional instructors who teach in this program!
