Regulatory Changes in Ontario for Behaviour Analysts: Almost There but Still Work to be Done
Regulatory Changes in Ontario for Behaviour Analysts: Almost There but Still Work to be Done [Toronto, Ontario] The Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) has played a pivotal role in shaping the field of applied behaviour analysis (ABA) since the early 2000s, notably through its involvement in the launch of the Ontario Autism Program.

It has introduced various tiered certifications, such as the Board-Certified Behavior Analyst- Doctoral® (BCBA-D®), Board

Panelist: Alex Breton, Self-Advocate 

Alex Breton was diagnosed at age 2.5 with pervasive development disorder, and after further testing at age 4, he was diagnosed with Asperger's. He found living with Asperger's to be a challenge, as he struggled with being bullied at a young age and into high school due to difficulties in understanding social relationships and making friends. At age 21, he decided to pursue an education and had a career in early childhood education for four years, here, he hoped he could help kids in the same situation as him. He gravitated towards working with Autism Ontario’s summer camps and evening programs to further pursue his goal to help others on the Autism Spectrum. With his work experience, he has found it easier to connect with people on the spectrum and feels very rewarded working alongside others on the spectrum.  He is currently assisting in the Dungeons and Dragons program with the Toronto Region of Autism Ontario as a Dungeon Master with plans to take an autism and behavioural course in September 2024.

Our History

The Ontario Society for Autistic Children was founded in 1973 as a registered charity by a group of parents seeking to establish educational and support services for their children. Up until 1973, families were often forced to institutionalize their children because educational and treatment programs were not available. In the years since incorporation, we have seen great strides in research into the causes and treatment of autism and into the development of educational and community-based services for individuals with ASD. In 1974, the organization was instrumental in conceiving of

Notre histoire

La Ontario Society for Autistic Children est un organisme de bienfaisance fondé en 1973 par un groupe de parents qui cherchait à mettre en place des services éducatifs et de soutien pour leurs enfants. Avant 1973, les familles devaient souvent placer leurs enfants dans des institutions parce qu’aucun programme d’éducation et de traitement n’était disponible. Dans les années qui ont suivi notre constitution en société morale, nous avons observé des progrès considérables dans la recherche sur les causes et le traitement de l’autisme ainsi que dans le développement de services éducatifs et

Nous pouvons aussi rappeler à quel point les actions revendicatrices jouent un rôle de premier plan dans le
