We have some fantastic news to share with our community! Beginning July 1, 2024, the College of Psychologists will take on the regulation of Behaviour Analysts in our province. This marks a significant step forward in ensuring the highest standards of care and professionalism within Behaviour Analysis.

As we celebrate this achievement, which will provide the protection the consumers of behaviour analytic services deserve, we want to thank all the people who have worked to bring us to this exciting day. There have been so many people in the past 30 years who have worked tirelessly to advance and promote the science of behaviour analysis in Ontario including the late founder of LRCSS; Jim Reaume. Their dedication to our field is inspiring.
