Abstract
Behavior analysts and licensed psychologists are often called upon to enter school settings to do functional analyses, behavior modification plans, and/or individual skills sessions. There are complications that may arise, including clashing goals with school staff and teachers, experiential avoidance in child clients, their parents or school personnel, lack of values clarity, and more. This 2-hour webinar will provide ideas for behavioral consultants who wish to navigate these issues from an acceptance and commitment model. While the presentation will be primarily didactic, some experiential work will be built in.
Learning Objectives
Participants at this event will:
- Name at least two common difficulties associated with being a behavioral consultant in a school setting
- Recognize at least one of your own safety behaviors in a difficult context
- Be able to choose and utilize at least one experiential exercise related to sensitivity to context
