Program details

Overview

Coursework addresses current theories and treatment methods for Autism Spectrum Disorder, with practices and procedures adapted to the individual child and situation. Emphasis falls on designing and carrying out behavioural treatment plans grounded in Applied Behaviour Analysis and Intensive Behaviour Intervention. Topics span evidence-based autism treatment practices, the characteristics of the disorder, child development, and augmentative communication systems, alongside approaches to teamwork and working with the families of children with ASD.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Georgian College's Autism and Behavioural Sciences programme page requires a college diploma or university degree specialising in behavioural science, sociology, child studies, education, psychology, rehabilitation or a similar discipline. No standardised English-language test score is published for this route. Before the field placement component, students must hold a clear criminal reference and vulnerable sector check obtained within three months of placement, along with current Non-Violent Crisis Prevention/Intervention certification (TCI or NVCPI) and Standard First Aid with CPR/HCP from St. John Ambulance, the Canadian Red Cross, or an equivalent provider; the page warns that an unpardoned criminal record may prevent completing the program. The credential is delivered as a one-year, part-time online program, and the page does not state fixed intake dates, pointing instead to a separate delivery-schedule document.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: 1 February 2027 is the equal-consideration date for Georgian's highly competitive programs, which now covers Fall 2027, Winter 2028 and Summer 2028 entry, and later applications are assessed first-come, first-served while seats last; offers of admission for this 2026-2027 cycle must be accepted by 1 May 2027. Programs outside the highly competitive list carry no equal-consideration date and are assessed on a rolling basis year-round. International applicants apply directly through Georgian's own portal with no published closing date and are assessed on a rolling basis while seats remain, though Georgian warns a program open when applied to may close before assessment. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
