Ontario ABA, represented by Dr. Joel Hundert, was awarded an international development grant to develop a database of potential practitioners of applied behavior analysis in all ten provinces of Canada and a database of behavioral courses, both graduate and undergraduate, at Canadian colleges and universities.
Integrated databases are much needed in Canada, as currently there is no single database of behavior analysts located in the various provinces. Nor is there an integrated database of institutions that provide post-secondary training in applied behavior analysis. The members of Ontario ABA represent only a small fraction of behavioral practitioners in one province who work in such diverse fields such as education, corrections, developmental disabilities and acquired brain injury. There is little communication with behavior analysis organizations in other Canadian provinces.
These databases will serve to inform behavioral practitioners in Ontario about Ontario ABA and to encourage practitioners in other provinces to develop their own affiliated chapters. Additionally, Ontario ABA will use the databases to encourage the dissemination of information about educational opportunities in behavior analysis and to support the dissemination of the field throughout Canada.
