Psychologists and Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs® ) often work with the same student or client in the school and clinic settings. Both fields share the same ultimate goal for the client:  "Meaningful functional and socially-significant change." Each profession has its own area of expertise in evidence-based modalities in helping the student/client achieve his/her goals. Differences and misunderstandings can create tension, confusion, and decrease progress. The opportunity that blooms when these two professionals work in cohesion can result in monumental gains on the challenging path toward independence.

In our 4th installment of the Multidisciplinary Collaboration Series, we examined the fields of Psychology and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA); identified the commonalities and distinctions of each field. We outlined the professional best practices that transcend both disciplinary fields to improve communication, clarity, and workflow so that the client benefits from the best of both worlds.

Learning Outcomes: 

• Identify the role of a Psychologist in School/Clinic settings
• Identify the role of a Behavior Analyst in School/Clinic settings
• Describe the history and competencies of both professions
• Identify common terminology of Psychologists and BCBAs
• List best practices in collaboration to achieve greater outcomes for the client/student
