Applied Behavior Analysis Continuing Education in Texas
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a growing discipline with a presence in both psychology and education. ABA has a rich history of affecting meaningful change through the application of behavioral principles at the system and individual levels. The University of Washington's ABA program is designed to prepare professionals to use the science of applied behavior analysis to help improve the lives of children and adults with disabilities.
The ABA Program in the UW College of Education offers both an on-campus and an online option. Both options allow students to earn a master's degree in special education and complete the ABA coursework necessary to apply to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). You can view the UW ABA Program Mission Statement here.
Students who become BCBAs typically work with individuals and caregivers in homes, clinics, and schools to affect socially significant behavior change. At the University of Washington, we place great value on the applied nature of ABA, providing ongoing opportunities for students to engage in skill development and collaboration with colleagues in the fields of education and psychology.
For more information on becoming a BCBA, please see www.bacb.com. View pass rates for the BACB exam before 2021 by clicking the link. In 2020, UW program graduates passed at a rate of 85%, compared to a national average of 66%!

Applied Behavior Analysis
Disclaimer: While the BCBA certification is valid in all 50 states, many states also require licensure of behavior analysts. State laws related to licensure of behavior analysts vary and do not necessarily reflect the same requirements as the BCBA certification. Applicants should be knowledgeable about licensure requirements in the state in which they may plan to apply for licensure. The Behavior Analyst Certificaton Board (BACB) provides this resource for information on state licensure of behavior analysts: https://www.bacb.com/u-s-licensure-of-behavior-analysts/. Also, please be aware that the BACB (the Behavior Analyst Certification Board) has announced that after Jan. 1, 2023, only individuals who reside in the U.S., Canada, and UK may apply for BACB certification. You can read more about that here: https://www.bacb.com/global-certification/
