Analysis (ABA) option will take the ABAI(r) approved verified course sequence (VCS).\u00a0 While the VCS sunsets as of December 31st, 2025, coursework for application to the BACB(r) will be attested to by the Program Coordinator under BACB(r) Pathway 2.\u00a0 Additionally, NSU is currently undergoing application for ABAI(r) Recognition and Approval.\u00a0 The course sequence is delivered through a combination of synchronous hybrid and WWW options.\u00a0 Please discuss these options with your program advisor to ensure successful completion of the program.<\/p><p>Individuals seeking the ABA option must also obtain 2,000 supervised field experience hours per the BACB(r) Pathway 2 Certification requirements.\u00a0 The field experience must be approved by the program committee, and supervision must come from a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) approved by the program committee.\u00a0 Additionally, with appropriate supervision experience, it is possible to obtain Comprehensive Application of Behavior Analysis to Schooling CABAS(C) certification.\u00a0 We are the only program in the state and one of the few in the country to offer both certification options.\u00a0 The combination of coursework and supervised field experience allows the candidate to apply to take the BCBA(R) examination under Pathway 2 and may allow for application for CABAS(r) Teacher 1 certification and beyond.\u00a0 Upon obtaining the BCBA(R) credential, the candidate may then apply to become a Licensed Behavior Analyst.<\/p><p>The nexus of our ABA program options is using the applied science of the behavior of the individual as the basis of a science of individualized instruction.\u00a0 Thus, our ABA program option focuses on building academic, social, and verbal behavior repertoires, cusps, and capabilities of the individual.\u00a0 We emphasize that the principles, strategies, and tactics of behavioral science are central to:\u00a0 1) effective pedagogy, 2) competent classroom management, and 3) sophisticated curriculum design\/implementation.\u00a0<\/p><p>The concepts, practices, and analytic strategies of behavioral science provide the novice or experienced teacher with the means to provide those educational outcomes for students and the community that are necessary for the well being of the student and society.\u00a0 Those who have mastered the content and applied it to practice with their students have made significant contributions to the welfare of their students, contributions that would not have been possible without the tools and strategies of the science.<\/p><p>Please note:\u00a0 Those individuals seeking the ABA option who are currently holding a valid master&#8217;s degree need only take the ABA approved course sequence + supervised practicum.\u00a0 Candidates without a master&#8217;s degree must take the High Incidence Disabilities Master&#8217;s program coursework + the ABA approved course sequence + supervised practicum.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-2142\"
