WEST AFRICAN/EDUCATION-IBI CERTIFICATE
Applied Behavior Analysis has been defined as a scientific approach for discovering environmental variables that reliably influence SOCIALLY significant behavior, and for developing a technology of behavior change that takes practical advantage of these discoveries. This technology of behavior change has increasingly gained wide acclaim in every facet of human life because of the ubiquity of behavior.
Applied Behavior Analysis, which took its root from the works of B.F Skinner, is an offshoot of psychology. The technology of behavior change is widely used in Education as Precision Teaching, Errorless Learning, and Incidental Teaching amongst others; in management as Organizational Behavior Management; in Medicine as an essential tool in the practice of Behavioral Medicine, Mental Health, and Developmental disabilities. The tool is a sine qua non for effective parenting practices and for the building of the healthy society of our dreams!
There is no doubt that graduates of this program will have no need to queue up in the labor market as the functional nature of the course enables them to create employment for themselves and others.
PHILOSOPHY OF THE PROGRAM.
The program, Applied Behavior Analysis, like Medicine or Clinical Psychology, aspires to train students to international standards, equipping them with the necessary advanced knowledge, skill, and professionalism to tackle the myriad behaviors of social significance in the world at large. The wide applicability of the principles of behavior analysis and acquisition of this knowledge and skill by the students will transform them into more knowledgeable and effective parents, efficient servers of the teeming population of persons with developmental, and intellectual disabilities and various addictive behaviors, as well as rescue the declining academic performance of our youths for a better society. Finally, it seeks to provide students with the requirements for international certification and recognition to ply their trade in any part of the world.
