Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and special education share the fundamental goal of supporting student growth, yet differences in language, methodology, and operational structures often hinder effective collaboration. This presentation provides educators, behavior analysts, and multi-disciplinary school teams with practical strategies to bridge the gap between ABA principles and classroom instruction. Attendees will explore how to integrate group contingencies to foster positive classroom dynamics, align behavior intervention plans with Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals, and establish interprofessional frameworks that prioritize meaningful student outcomes.
