Don't "throw away your shot" to understand the school's perspective and the limitations of implementing ABA within a school system to effectively support clients and their families. You'll "never be satisfied" until you understand these dynamics require a strong commitment to overcoming obstacles. Loraine Goff and Jennifer Riley, both BCBAs working in one of the top 25 largest metropolitan school districts in the United States, provide an insider's perspective on the processes and protocols. They will share valuable insights into the workings of the IEP team, the balance between educational and clinical relevance, teacher preparation for supporting students, the complex dynamics of a school environment, and the influence of federal, state, and local laws on student services. When you're "in the room where it happens," navigating the interactions of various stakeholders within the school district requires careful strategy to ensure that the right decisions are made for students' needs.
