Interdisciplinary Training

Florida Center for Inclusive Communities supports the University of South Florida’s Masters Program in Applied Behavior Analysis. The master's degree program in applied behavior analysis (ABA) is designed to meet the growing need in Florida and nationally for practitioners who can work effectively within systems to improve the quality of services in the fields of developmental disabilities, education, child protective services, rehabilitation, mental health, and business and technology.

ABA provides an approach for developing, implementing, and evaluating practical strategies to produce changes in socially significant behaviors of individuals in the context of community settings. The 42-credit-hour master's degree in ABA is interdisciplinary and is housed in the Graduate School. It provides coursework and practical supervision across three colleges (College of Arts and Sciences, College of Education, and the Louis de la Parte Florida Mental Health Institute). For more information on the program, contact Raymond Miltenberger at abausf@fmhi.usf.edu.

The Florida Center for Inclusive Communities is involved in the development of both pre-service and in-service training programs for professionals and community members who provide supports and services to individuals with developmental disabilities.
