Professional Outcomes
This program gives you the skills and knowledge to work in areas such as welfare, government departments, disability services, casework, client support and advocacy, as well as working with children with behavioural difficulties in educational settings. If you choose a behavioural management focus, you will learn how to implement functional analytical therapy for clients with severe behavioural difficulties. If you choose criminology combined with behaviour management, you will gain the ability to understand atypical behaviour patterns. If you combine your studies with psychology subjects, you will be able to develop effective needs-based treatment programs.
