在纽约州, 行为 Analysts are licensed health-care professionals who provide therapeutic services for individuals with autism and related disorders. Service delivery might include conducting assessments of problem behavior or language deficits, developing treatments to reduce behavior and increase pro-social behavior, 以及护理人员培训. An underlying feature of this service is a foundation in a scientist-practitioner model of therapy development and service delivery. Students enrolled in this program will be expected to master skills related to data collection and analysis and making data-based decisions to implement evidence-based treatments for autism.
The program capitalizes on available faculty resources at SUNY 上州医科大学 and its associated hospitals and centers (e.g., Golisano Children’s Hospital, the Golisano Center for Special Needs). The program also leverages existing areas of specialization in the areas of developmental pediatrics, 儿童精神病学, 还有社会工作. These disciplines factor into the continuum of care for individuals with autism and related disorders.

This division includes four subspecialty clinical programs that will serve as external instruction sites for students in the 行为 Analysis Studies program.
