ABA Minor
In the fields of Psychology and Education there is an ever-rising population of children, youth and adults living with cognitive, emotional, behavioral and developmental challenges. One population that is on the rise is those on the Autism Spectrum. Given the high need, it would benefit our Psychology, Early Childhood Education, Education and Special Education majors to have the skills and knowledge of ABA.
