Overview
The master’s degree curriculum in Autism and Applied Behavior Analysis from Cambridge College is divided into two parts — autism / special education courses (14 credits) and ABA course sequence (24 credits). As an applied behavioral analysis student at Cambridge College, you’ll learn about the history, prevalence, and diagnosis of autism as well as assessment methods and clinical applications of ABA therapy for autism as well as the legal and ethical requirements for professional applied behavior analysts.
Careers
Applied behavior analysis is a growing and versatile career field. In fact, there are so many other career types that now sometimes encompass ABA therapy for autism, that the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics does not yet track behavior analyst as a stand-alone professional designation, even though the national demand for people with BCBA certification continues to grow.
However, the highest concentration of ABA for autism jobs come from the following types of employers:
- Healthcare, including treatment planning, case management, and treatment
- Educational services, both within traditional school settings as well as with private providers of ABA services to individuals and families
- Social assistance, including therapy-type skills, other educational settings such as workplace training, and treatment planning in community service settings**
Other options for applied behavioral analyst careers include working for:
- Insurance carriers and related fields
- Local government, including public administration
- Research organizations, including data analysis**
