In Nova Scotia, there’s an increasing demand for graduates skilled in applying behavioural strategies that support learning. To meet this demand, Annapolis Valley Campus (Middleton) is now offering the Behavioural Interventions program with a reduced course load.

While you work, you can study:

  • how to assess, design, implement, modify and evaluate positive behavioural interventions for children and adults of all ages and abilities.
  • positive behavioural strategies that facilitate growth within social, emotional, cognitive and mental health function for different diagnoses
  • appropriate assessment protocols that identify goals and support the individual in the development of new skills
  • how to use data collection to document, analyze and evaluate program progress
  • designing modifications for specialized populations, including trauma-informed care, dementia care and traumatic brain injury
  • applying skills and support with an acceptance of neurodiversity, inclusion of the individual in goal and support planning and implementation
  • applying positive behavioural supports in a three-tiered model from universal Tier 1 to individualized Tier 3 interventions
