ABA is an evidence-based treatment for children and adults diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACA) approves courses, and publishes a task list. The task list indicates which areas of ABA practitioners need to learn. The BACA is transitioning from the 4th Edition to the 5th Edition task list. The following syllabi have been updated to meet the 5th Edition task list.

  • SPED 5450 Intro to ABA/Terminology
  • SPED 5460 Practical Applications in Behavior Analysis
  • SPED 5470 ABA Data

The committee has requested to see an updated syllabus, using the current syllabus template and adding aspects of social justice.

 

Syllabi Review

Reviews are completed. The committee will communicate to the programs with any updates. Next review in five years.
