ABA Exam CoachLessons · H. Selecting and Implementing Interventions
H.8 · Collaborating with other professionals
Your client doesn't just see you. They see teachers, therapists, doctors, and family, and how well that team works together can make or break progress. Let's talk about collaborating well without giving up your science or stepping into someone else's lane.
Key takeaway
Collaboration means working on purpose with everyone who affects the client: sharing relevant data, coordinating goals, and agreeing on consistent procedures across settings. You stay within behavior analysis. You don't defer on behavioral matters, and you don't take over another discipline's work. When there's a conflict, talk with the colleague directly, look for a compromise that keeps the client's welfare and the data at the center, and get informed consent before you share any client information.
