There are only 55 individuals BCBA-certified in Alberta.

ABA helps children reduce difficult behaviour and gain skills

At Northern Star Behaviour Services, our Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBAs) take the time to help children learn and practice new skills. As they master each new skill, more skills are added for them to learn. With time and practice, these skills turn into behaviour like playing well with others, holding conversations, and learning from others.
