The College of Psychologists is pleased to announce that Dr. Kendra Thomson and Mr. Conrad Leung have been appointed as non-voting members to the College Council representing the profession of Applied Behaviour Analysis.
At its March 2022 meeting, the College Council approved the addition of two Behaviour Analysts as transitional, non-voting members to participate in Council meetings.聽These appointments begin with the next Council meeting in June 2022 and continue until proclamation of the聽Psychology and Applied Behaviour Analysis Act, 2021.聽Upon proclamation, members of the profession will have the opportunity to elect Behaviour Analysts to serve as full members of the College Council.
In preparation for proclamation of the聽Act, the College is developing the regulations and policies necessary for the regulation of Behaviour Analysts.聽Once these receive Council endorsement, they will be submitted for government approval.聽In striving to ensure that all proposals are in keeping with its public protection and public interest mandate and consistent with the nature of the profession of Applied Behaviour Analysis, Council believed it was important to add representatives of the new profession to聽the College governance structure.
The College would like to thank the many very qualified Behaviour Analysts who responded to the College鈥檚 鈥淐all for Interest鈥� and hope there will be opportunities in the future to take advantage of their talents and interest.
