Behavioural Analysis

A Behaviour Analyst uses Applied Behavioural Analysis (ABA), often with positive reinforcement, to support individuals in reducing behaviours that have been identified as having negative social and/or personal consequences. Often, ABA is used to support behavioural challenges associated with autism or intellectual impairment, but it can also be applied in other areas such as health and sport, child maltreatment interventions, and substance use. To become a behaviour analyst, like other regulated professions, one must be licensed and registered to practice.
