Behavior is Communication with Karyn Roy, BCBA
from Empowered 2 Advocate Hosted by Michelle Farrell
In our first ever guest episode, Michelle and Dana Marie chat with Karyn Roy, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst at a K-8 school who supports students with a variety of disabilities in both the inclusion and the substantially separate setting. In this episode we discuss: What is a BCBA? How do BCBAs help students in schools access their education? When might a BCBA be a part of a student's IEP team? Why a team approach to behavior change is so important. The importance of consistency. ABA: the shift to a more compassionate and trauma informed methodology. The four functions of behavior: sensory, escape, attention, and tangible. The importance of assessment, data collection and adaptations to plans based on that data. The value of student and family involvement in designing interventions. The importance of considering cultural values and belief systems when designing interventions. And more!
