Why Choose Caldwell University for ABA?

We can tell you why we think you’ll love our program, but we thought you might want to hear directly from our students about their experiences in the Applied Behavior Analysis programs at Caldwell.

“I think all this collaboration with faculty and other students makes the whole
program so great. I’m hoping to work with the Latinx community and the black
and brown community because those are the children that need the most help.“
“The faculty are incredible and the program offers clinical and supervisory
experience. I really appreciate the on-campus autism center because I knew
that I wanted to have an applied clinical experience in addition to coursework
and getting the opportunity to have more supervision experience as well as
different research opportunities.”
“Once I saw the Autism Center at Caldwell, it really locked in that this is where I
wanted to be. I liked seeing the energy of the people that work there and how
enthusiastic everyone was. I knew this was the spot to set me up for where I want
to be in the future.”
“I chose Caldwell because the ABA program was very highly recommended
to me by people who were in the program already and who I had worked closely
with and who were in the doctoral program.”
“I have a family member who has autism and I was always looking for ways to do
more for them. My career goal has been to help others. Caldwell’s ABA offers
opportunity for growth with undergraduate, master’s, and, doctoral programs.
The program helps to produce well-rounded clinicians who are clinically,
academically, and professionally competent.

“After working at a daycare with some children possibly having autism spectrum
disorder I decided to return to school. My favorite part of the program was the
hands-on practicum, where we got to work with different learners. With this
degree, I plan on taking the BACB exam and using it to work with children
enrolled in my current day care.”
“My favorite part of the program was the practical application of what I was
learning in the classroom and the opportunity to observe high quality ABA
service providers. The Caldwell ABA program is great because it’s highly
disciplined, rigorous, and demanding. It forces you to wear many hats; not
only are you a student but you’re also a teacher, a researcher and a
clinical practitioner.”
