[TORONTO, June 27, 2024] \u2013 On July 1, 2024, the province of Ontario will have reached a significant milestone as the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø and Applied Behaviour Analysis Act, 2021 <\/em>is proclaimed into law. The Act<\/em> signifies a culmination of efforts towards ensuring greater access to ABA services and the assurance of safe, quality care for the public. The proclamation of the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø and Applied Behaviour Analysis Act, 2021<\/em> reflects years of collaboration between the College of Psychologists of Ontario, the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Starting on July 1, 2024, Behaviour Analysts in the province will be accountable to the public, through their regulatory College, for their professional behaviour and activities. Behaviour Analysts will have to meet rigorous professional entry requirements, adhere to prescribed standards, guidelines and ethical principles and participate in quality assurance activities to continually update and improve their knowledge and skill. In the interest of public protection, the Act<\/em> establishes a robust mechanism for receiving and addressing complaints against Behaviour Analysts, with provisions for disciplinary action in cases of misconduct or malpractice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The College of Psychologists of Ontario currently regulates Ontario\u2019s more than 4,000 Psychologists and Psychological Associates and looks forward to welcoming Behaviour Analysts to what will become the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏÍø. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For further information, please visit the ABA Portal<\/a> on the College\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
