A: The NC Psychology Board states that “Behavior analysis is included in the definition of the practice of psychology, pursuant to NC Gen. Stat. Sec. 90-270.2(8). In order to practice psychology in North Carolina, including behavior analysis, one must be licensed by the NC Psychology Board, unless one is exempt from licensure pursuant to NC Gen. Stat. Sec. 90-270.4.”
Thus, until/unless individuals have a NC license to practice behavior analysis, they may be subject to investigation by the NC Psychology Board.
