Field Placement Terminations

Students should be aware that the placement agency is not obligated to support student placements in the event that a student does not successfully complete a field placement interview or meeting, if the student is demonstrating challenges relating to professional and ethical behaviour, jeopardizing client or learner’s safety observed at any point by Field Mentors, or demonstrates continued challenges with the application of behaviour analytic principles.

Other behaviours that constitute a field placement termination include; falling asleep at the placement site during a scheduled shift, on-going behavioural concerns despite feedback provided by Field Mentors, continuous absences, failure to attend field placement
