GET INVOLVED
The Rancho Santiago Community College District (RSCCD) Board of Trustees approved Santiago Canyon College’s (SCC) proposed curriculum for an (Autism) Behavior Technician certificate program. The program will now be submitted to the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office for state approval. The District and SCC plan to offer the certificate program to students once this approval is secured.
“The partnership is a great example of how our colleges work with industry to address vital community needs. The Behavior Technician certificate program is a win for our students, our colleges, the industry and most importantly our community’s autistic children and their families.”
— RSCCD Chancellor Raúl Rodriguez, Ph.D.
