The 5-day SESS Contemporary Applied Behaviour Analysis (C-ABA) course aims to teach the skills necessary for the design, implementation, and evaluation of behaviour management programs for use with individuals with mild, moderate, or intensive needs in a variety of settings.

Also, participants complete two behaviour change assignments (a student skill-acquisition assignment and a student behaviour management assignment) with children on their caseloads. These assignments are very clearly described in the course with models provided. Only the self-management assignment is completed during the time frame of the course.
