Academic Program Partnerships

BHCOE seeks out innovative partnerships with academic programs that will advance quality ABA care. We invite collaborations that will expand access and improve the quality of supervised experiential learning for applied behavior analysis students for the benefit of the entire ABA community. BHCOE brings extensive resources as the international accreditor for ABA and a network of accredited providers to create needed solutions for placing students in supervised fieldwork and training them.

• BHCOE assists academic programs to identify and select training sites that meet quality standards.
• We promote efforts that support supervising providers to recruit and develop trainees.
• We work to ensure that students’ supervised fieldwork aligns with academic learning and national standards for quality.
• In most cases, students within these academic programs will be required to do their experiential learning at BHCOE-Accredited ABA organizations.
• ABA Providers that are BHCOE Accredited will have the opportunity to fill much-needed positions with team members training for a career path in ABA. Learn more about becoming an approved Training Site.

BHCOE standards and performance measures lay the foundation for educational partnerships. These align educators, providers, and emerging behavior analysts in shared practices that advance quality in ABA service delivery and training, resulting in a stronger workforce and patient outcomes.
