Summary

As we come to the end of another school year in the US, we take a moment to ponder the question: What is it that a BCBA is supposed to do when they work in a school context? And to help us answer that question, we’ve enlisted the help of the other half of one of our favorite behavior analyst duos, John Staubitz! John walks us through all the stuff about comprehending the school ecology that you didn’t learn in grad school—unless you went to teacher grad school—like the laws and regulations that mandate policies and the do’s and dont’s of providing services to students. If you haven’t set foot in a public school since you grabbed your old principal handed you a diploma, you’re about to take the first step into a larger world.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
