Why should you pursue certification in applied behavior analysis?

The answer is marketability. Applied Behavior Analysis practitioners know that certification is the key to job growth and security. There is a growing need for well-trained board certified professionals in behavior analysis to work or consult in schools, early intervention programs, day programs, residential settings and home-based programs. The career options are limitless. For more information about certification visit http://www.bacb.com/.
