BCBA Collaboration Tips

As BCBAs, collaboration is a very critical part of our job. However, a lot of us have trouble collaborating effectively. Unfortunately, some of the other professionals we may encounter don’t have a great opinion about ABA, as it does have a bit of a negative reputation. Because of this, it’s important to have the right conversations about what we do and how we can help our clients reach their goals. It’s also important to be open to other disciplines, like speech and OT, as they offer their own unique perspectives.Here, we discuss how we can collaborate with other professionals and incorporate them into some of our programmings. The first step is open communication, which includes keeping others updated and getting feedback when appropriate. Second, be open to new ideas, try them out, and make collaboration a group effort. Try to use regular terminology instead of ABA acronyms others may not understand. Sharing training sessions are also an effective way to support each other and get on the same page. Always keep in mind that we’re all human beings and professionals in our own unique areas.
