Use behaviour analysis to teach socially significant skills to improve the quality of life for individuals with autism and their families. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neuro-developmental disorder that affects 1 in 66 individuals in Canada. ASD can affect an individual’s ability to communicate, socially interact, and they will often engage in repetitive/restricted behaviors. ASD is a spectrum; therefore, the degree to which an individual experiences these challenges will vary. Students looking to expand globally can also explore opportunities to study graduate autism in Canada, where leading universities provide advanced training in Autism and Behavioural Science. This program holds the highest overall student satisfaction of any comparable program in Ontario.
