The Ontario Association for Behaviour Analysis (ONTABA) is an Affiliate<br />

Chapter <strong>of</strong> the Association for Behaviour Analysis International and supports<br />

the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB). ONTABA currently has<br />

members from pr<strong>of</strong>essions such as education, nursing, health care and<br />

psychology.<br />

ONTABA‘s vision is to foster a culture <strong>of</strong> excellence, integrity, and expertise for<br />

the advancement and promotion <strong>of</strong> the science <strong>of</strong> behaviour analysis.<br />

ONTABA‘s mission is to demonstrate leadership, knowledge, and innovation in<br />

education, training, and research for the ethical and effective application <strong>of</strong><br />

behaviour analysis.<br />

In requesting the support <strong>of</strong> the program, the ONTABA Board drafted and voted on<br />

a criteria based on the BACB course sequence and ABAI accreditation criteria for<br />

undergraduate programs on which to base their support. The ONTABA Board<br />

compared Humber‘s program with course hours and ONTABA‘s criteria for<br />

support. This comparison is attached below. In light <strong>of</strong> this positive comparison<br />

and considering the role <strong>of</strong> ONTABA in the community, the ONTABA Board<br />

decided that they could support Humber‘s program in <strong>Behavioural</strong> <strong>Science</strong> and<br />

their letter <strong>of</strong> support follows.<br />

At this time, Humber is in the process <strong>of</strong> applying to the Behavior Analyst<br />

Certification Board (BACB) for formal approval <strong>of</strong> degree level training for the<br />

Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA). The application requires<br />

Humber‘s program to meet stringent behaviour analyst issues including theory,<br />

methodology, and ethics. The submission requires detailed mapping <strong>of</strong> course<br />

topics, learning outcomes, course outlines and faculty CV‘s for submission. The<br />

application will be submitted in full in January 2013. An update on the status <strong>of</strong> the<br />

submission will be provided at the time <strong>of</strong> review.<br />
