Abstract:

An important goal for behavior analysts is the dissemination of the principles of behavior analysis to the community. Part of this process is the incorporation of behavior analytic practices in public school settings. Common challenges to this process include planning and delivering staff training, the incorporation of effective and appropriate data collection systems, balancing student schedules and conducting functional assessments. Additionally, the delivery of services in the public school environment often means working as part of a multi-disciplinary team. The variables presented by a public school environment are such that effective communication is often as important as the intervention itself. The goal of this panel discussion is to bring together a number of individuals in the field of applied behavior analysis who are delivering services in public schools in a variety of roles. The panel will answer questions related to effective applications of ABA in public school settings, challenges they have encountered, and solutions they have developed. The panel will also take questions from the audience.
