About the internship
This internship is organized into two tracks:
The internship provides generalist training as well as specialty competencies related to behavioral treatments and diagnostic assessment of children with developmental disabilities.
Our training philosophy
The internship is based on the understanding that principles and procedures of the science of behavior form the basis for effective and ethical clinical services. Accordingly, the internship utilizes data-based diagnostic and treatment procedures that are consistent with basic principles of learning and behavior as embodied in the research literature.
We are informed by national standards
Marcus Autism Center provides standards of best practice in diagnostic and clinical evaluations, as well as specific treatment and intervention activities that are designed to conform to established ethical guidelines of the American Psychological Association (APA), the National Standards Project (for autism spectrum disorder) and the Association for Behavior Analysis International.
We welcome diverse applicants
We are committed to respecting diversity and welcome applications from candidates from under-represented groups in the fields of science and psychology.
We partner with Emory University
