I likely need to say something to you about governance reform and the College.

Wait, please don’t stop reading yet. Hear me out.

In this edition of my Registrar’s message, I am proud to share an initiative that will benefit residents of Northwestern Ontario who have limited access to healthcare.

“What we perceive about ourselves is greatly a reflection of how we will end up living our lives.” – Stephen Richards

The first administration of the Ontario Examination for Professional Practice in Applied Behaviour Analysis (OEPPABA) will be held on Monday May 26, 2025.

Elections to the College Council were held on March 31, 2025. We are pleased to announce the following results:

The College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario (“The College”) is committed to continuous quality improvement to meet the needs of all residents of Ontario, now and into the future

The College is looking for members who are interested in being appointed to serve on College Committees beginning in June 2025.

The College uses e-mail to communicate as this is a quick and efficient method to bring important information to registrant’s attention.

Registration renewal is now open. Registration fees as well as the Practice Update Form is due by June 1.

As this is the first year that Registered Behaviour Analysts must fulfill QA requirements, there may be uncertainty around how to meet expectations.

The Practice Advice Service is available for anyone to contact about advice or matters relating to psychology and applied behaviour analysis.

The Council of the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts met in-person on March 21, 2025.

The ICRC met three times to consider a total of 29 cases. In addition, the ICRC held 15 teleconferences to consider 22 cases.

Third Quarter, December 1, 2024 – February 28, 2025

The College would like to congratulate those Psychologist, Psychological Associate and Behavior Analyst members who have received Certificates of Registration Since January 2025
