Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters

Rights-Based Behaviour Analysis and Support: Discussion

Dr. Michelle Kelly:

That is important, because the practitioners we are talking about have either level 9 or level 10 qualifications. They are qualified either to master's or doctoral level in behaviour analysis. Practitioners are either PSI members or have international accreditation. There is certification. As the Senator said, we want to highlight the fact that it is not the wild west. They have a certain level of education and certification. What we really need is exactly what psychologists need, namely, overall regulation in the field.
