Autism Spectrum News published an interview with an interview with Laura McCabe, BCBA, Coordinator at AHRC New York City’s Middle High School
“We train teachers in utilizing applied behavior methodology in modifying instruction and developing classroom environmental supports conducive to learning. I train teachers in implementing our research-based ABA curriculum and making data-based decisions when developing goals for instruction. When working as a team to develop instructional and behavioral interventions, we discuss the students’ strengths and weaknesses, as well as the behaviors we need to address.
It is important to keep a balance between the need to discuss students’ performance and their behavior challenges with the instructional team members involved in the educational process, while maintaining student dignity and confidentiality.”
