Chapter 1: Introduction

Welcome to the Autism and Behavioural Science Graduate Certificate Program Field Placement Manual! This book is intended for our community partners to access important information and forms as it pertains to successful field placements. The manual is updated on a yearly basis, and feedback regarding its contents is welcomed and encouraged.

Thank you for your continued support to our program and our students. Field placements allow our students the opportunity to practice and apply the learning they receive in the classroom. Field placements “bring the classroom learning to life”. The Autism and Behavioural Science team acknowledges the very important role that our field placements play in training and preparing our students. Therefore, we would like to recognize the commitment, energy and work that Field Mentors demonstrate. Your contribution to the students is invaluable in their personal and professional journeys. Please provide this manual to anyone who will be supporting ABS student placements.
