School-Based ABA: Collaboration in the School Setting (3 hrs, 3.0 CEU’s)
BCBAs increasingly find themselves providing services in the school setting, which has the potential to benefit many in education, not just the individual students to whom they are assigned. Schools have unique rules, expectations, roles and scopes of practice that are important for BCBA staff to understand. In addition, BCBAs may wear multiple hats and be tasked with a wide variety of interventions. Participants in this training will explore the various ways that BCBAs work in schools, their roles on IEP teams and the services they provide. The training will also cover ways to collaborate effectively with other team members and to build capacity within various school settings. Note: This training is a good next step after the first webinar in this series.
Learning Objectives:
- Attendees will review the basic expectation of schools regarding access to the general education curriculum as applied to academics, behavior and social skills.
- Attendees will discuss and review the various possible roles they may take in providing applied behavior analytic services in schools, as well as their scope of practice within schools.
- Attendees will review their roles on IEP teams as well as the basics of collaboration across disciplines.
