​​The Behavioural Science Technician diploma program prepares students for meaningful careers supporting individuals with autism, developmental disabilities, and other behavioural needs using evidence-based strategies rooted in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). Over two years, students develop the skills to implement behavioural interventions, teach new skills, and promote positive behaviour in a variety of settings, including schools, community agencies, and clinical environments. 
 
Students gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience through courses in behaviour principles, communication strategies, ethics, and applied techniques, as well as supervised field placements. To reflect the evolving landscape of the field, the program has recently updated its ethics curriculum in response to new regulations introduced in Ontario as of July 1, 2024. These changes establish formal regulation of ABA professionals through the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario, offering greater professional recognition and accountability. While Behaviour Technicians are not regulated under the new legislation, they continue to play a critical role under the supervision of registered Behaviour Analysts. 
 
Graduates of this program are well-prepared to enter the workforce or pursue further education. A clearly defined pathway to the Honours Bachelor of Behavioural Science (HBBS) degree is available, offering diploma graduates the opportunity to continue their studies and advance their professional qualifications.​
