The Power Of Partnership matters because it changes what a BCBA notices when decisions have to hold up in joint consultation, shared care planning, school-team communication, and interdisciplinary handoffs. In Partnership, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer roles, fewer duplicated efforts, and better coordinated intervention, not in abstract discussion alone.

This presentation explores the concept of "ensemble thinking"—a perspective drawn from musicians who set aside personal identity for the sake of creating harmonious experiences. Similarly, BCBAs must recognize the value of interdisciplinary collaboration and the shared responsibility of patient care. This session will define professionalism in behavior analysis, highlight the benefits of working alongside other professionals, and examine how BCBAs are perceived when they take a seat at the table.
