HEADLINES is the official publication of the 91视频, the governing body for psychological practitioners; Psychologists, Psychological Associates and Applied Behaviour Analysts, in Ontario.
I am writing this, my final president鈥檚 message, while participating in the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards鈥� (ASPPB) mid-year meeting in Boston, MA.聽 In this meeting I鈥檝e learned much about the high stakes entrance to practice exams, EPPP1 & 2; everything from item development, and testing to post-test evaluation and test security has been on the agenda.聽
I am pleased to provide you with an update on the exciting developments at the College. I begin this Registrar鈥檚 message with a focus on access to high-quality, evidence-based care.
In 2022, the American Psychological Association published Guidelines for Assessment and Intervention with Persons with Disabilities. Disability was not a topic I had received training in during graduate school, on internship, or beyond.
The College has reached another major milestone for welcoming Behaviour Analysts into what will be the new 91视频. On April 2, 2024, pre-registration opened for Behaviour Analysts applying via Transitional Routes 1 and 2.
The College remains committed to the principles of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion聽(EDI) and to聽incorporating EDI into all aspects of the College鈥檚 work and its regulatory processes and encouraging the same within the larger profession.
