This week’s return guests are Amanda and Danielle from Navigating Behaviour Change.

Given Amanda and Danielle’s diverse professional background, Navigating Behavior Change strives to provide supports to not only teachers, but also school psychologists, administrators, and other related service providers.

We cover the following and more:
1. When considering the function of challenging behaviors, how do BCBA's view the role of communication?
2. How do BCBA's use the principles of behavior to teach, practice, and reinforce functional communication skills?
3. In what ways do you effectively collaborate with a SLP to improve functional communication? Is there overlap?
4. In the school setting, what barriers do you often encounter in regard to improving a student's ability to communicate their wants and needs?
