Applied behaviour analysis is a profession based on the science of learning and behaviour. Behaviour analysts provide services in a number of subspecialty areas, including support for neurodivergent individuals and people with developmental disabilities, behavioural pediatrics, gerontology, sports, organizational behaviour management, and brain injury rehabilitation. Psychologists may provide services to clients who are also receiving care from a behaviour analyst. In this presentation, information will be provided about team-based collaborative care for clients who receive services from both a psychologist and a behaviour analyst.
