July 25, 2008 - A special message regarding BACB®
certification
ONTABA
continues to work on matters relating to certification for
practitioners of Behaviour Analysis in Ontario. Recently,
in the ONTABA Analyst, I announced that ONTABA requested and
was granted a two-year extension to the Alternative Pathways
to BACB®
certification. Thus, the Portfolio & Experience Option
now ends July 1, 2010 and the Portfolio, Courses and Experience
option now ends July 1, 2011.
Today
I am also very pleased to announce that BACB®
will accept the same qualifications for supervisors of Ontario
applicants who are applying through the regular BACB®
process (i.e., those with BACB®-approved course sequences)
as is used in the BACB®-approved
ONTABA Alternate Pathway. This policy will extend for the
same duration as the ONTABA Alternate Pathway and will expire
when the Alternate Pathway expires.
ONTABA
sought this provision to enhance supervision options for persons
in Ontario who have completed a BACB®
-approved course sequence and are seeking certification through
the standard BACB®
processes. We are delighted that the request has been approved
and very grateful to the BACB®.
ONTABA
will be working in the coming months to ensure that appropriate
forms and processes are in place to accommodate these changes.
