Professional Communication and Feedback Tips for ABA Professionals

Working with clients is just one part of our jobs as ABA professionals. Another important part is communicating with supervisors, parents, co-workers, and other stakeholders we interact with day to day. Here, we’re covering all things related to professional communication and feedback. Communication isn’t always easy, especially when it involves an emergency or a program that is not working. When it comes to working as an RBT, sometimes you’ll know a learner better than the BCBA, and it’s your right to provide feedback, positive or negative.We discuss giving and receiving feedback and how to approach those interactions appropriately, including timing, format, and demeanor.

We also talk about common communication obstacles, what to do if you feel defensive when receiving feedback or criticism, and tips for communicating with parents.
