In this thought-provoking webinar based on practical experience and relevant literature, we will delve into the historical context of Applied Behavior Analysis and its evolution within educational settings. Designed for school-based BCBAs, this session aims to broaden our understanding of ABA’s roots and how they inform current practices. We will examine pivotal moments in ABA history, discuss the implications for today’s educational landscape, and explore strategies for reframing the narrative around ABA services in schools. By understanding our past, we can identify new opportunities for collaboration and acceptance of ABA practices among educators, administrators, and parents. Attendees will leave with a deeper appreciation of ABA’s historical significance and practical insights to advocate for effective services that meet the diverse needs of students. Join us for an enriching discussion that will inspire and equip you to make a meaningful impact in your school community.
