Introduction to autism and Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)

Tuesday 7 & Wednesday 8 February 2012

This two day course provides a thorough introduction to Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) and its relevance to autism education. Designed by senior ABA practitioners to give the essential background knowledge required to access our more advanced courses, it is aimed at anyone who supports individuals with autism.
