OPPORTUNITIES
International ABA Institute is open to partnerships with organizations such as universities, behavior health agencies, institutions, and associations that focus on the dissemination of ABA practices and cultural humility training globally.
​
We work in partnership with universities to outsource The BEST ABA Program content for positive behavior support systems. This curriculum is based upon years of research on Applied Behavior Analysis for practitioners to understand and implement behavior change systems. The behavior change systems have been created for teachers, parents, social workers, psychologists, and clinicians to be able to use positive supports for students, children, and people who need support for prosocial skills.
The International ABA Institute partnerships with other organizations will facilitate training for practitioners to support children through a learning and behavior change process. Although current content is focused on Master level adult learners, IABAI can work with any organization to personalize and individualize content and level of inquiry based upon the student-practitioner’s needs and educational level.
​
The program's three-tiered model can be implemented based upon any student-practitioner's educational and personal needs. Every student-practitioner can create a educational plan that meets their goals. Student-practitioners can complete part of the program to achieve a micro-credential, or complete the entire program to be certified as a BEST Behavior Analyst.
