This week we're revisiting our long-running series on professional collaboration by discussing how behavior analysts can engage in practices to work well with special education teachers. And, as a special treat, we're joined by long-time friend of the show and special education teacher/BCBA extrordinaire, Carolyn Beaumier. We dig into recent articles on some of the "faux pas" BCBAs often find themselves in when working with educators and hear some tried and true strategies from someone who's been on both sides of the behavioral consulting role. Plus, first-hand stories of how well (or badly!) Rob actually is as a school consultant. This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
