The latest cohort of Behaviour Therapy Theory Programme students has successfully completed the theory component of their training in Sri Lanka.
Applied Behaviour Analysis is widely recognised as one of the most evidence based approaches for supporting children with autism. It is implemented by trained behaviour therapists, where professional standards, certification, and regulation are critical to ensuring ethical and effective practice.
In 2020, Dr Anton James introduced certified and regulated behaviour therapy to Sri Lanka through The Tree House International, aligning the field with international standards through collaboration with the International Behaviour Analysis Organisation.
The recent graduation marks an important step in this journey, as students progress towards becoming qualified behaviour therapists under a structured and regulated pathway. The event was attended by Chief Guest Prof Sumathipala and Dr Jayaseelan, Dr Shafeek, Dr Samaraweera, Ms Peiris, and Ms Lasanthika Madushani as distinguished guests.
This milestone strengthens professional standards and expands access to quality, evidence based support services across the country.
