Sound familiar? This session is for BCBAs who want to strengthen their skills and become effective, ethical, and collaborative contributors to the IEP process. We'll walk through how IDEA law aligns (and sometimes doesn't) with behavior analytic recommendations, what the IEP team is legally responsible for, and how to present your input in a way that gets heard. We'll cover common communication breakdowns, red-flag phrases to avoid, and the essential mindset shift from "clinical expert" to "collaborative team member." Whether you're school-based, based in a clinic or home, or consulting privately, this session will give you tools to confidently advocate for students while honoring family input and respecting team dynamics. Come ready to rethink how you show up at IEP meetings—and walk away with the confidence to make your seat at the table matter.
