Autism and Behavioural Science at Fanshawe College

Fanshawe College’s Autism and Behavioural Science program is about learning skills to teach skills and decrease challenging behaviours for persons with autism and other disabilities.

Students will learn foundational theories of practice in their first five courses followed by four additional courses in application of theories. They will gain knowledge on the theory of applied behaviour analysis and specifically how to support those with autism and other developmental disabilities. Students will learn to deliver support across all age sectors (children, youth, and adults). 

Graduates will be ready to begin careers with their advanced knowledge of autism and awareness of effective intervention techniques from academic study and two field placements. Students will be in high demand across the autism sector or, take their experience to new, ever-expanding fields within behaviour analysis.
