Program Overview

Behavior analysis is an emerging and highly sought-after clinical profession focused on treating complex behavioral and functional challenges. Behavior analysts work with individuals facing both organic and acquired behavioral difficulties. They support children and adolescents on the autism spectrum, as well as those with learning and behavioral challenges related to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), including typically developing children who exhibit behavioral difficulties in the family environment or within the education system.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a unique field within behavioral science that studies and diagnoses the interactions between human behavior and their environment.Grounded in scientific principles of behavior, this field offers research-based tools and interventions designed to understand and address behaviors that hinder an individual’s development and ability to reach their full potential.
The program represents a significant advancement over existing training programs in Israel (certificate studies), which are not accredited by the Council for Higher Education.
The program is approved by the Ministry of Education and was established based on the recommendation of the Ministry of Health, with the aim of enhancing the quality of behavior analyst training in Israel and aligning it with internationally recognized standards.
