In a consultative model of service, the BCBA will meet on a regular basis with a parent, caregiver, or teacher. Frequency of meetings will depend on the level of need or client progress.
BCBA will
-
conduct initial assessments and evaluations
-
establish specific goals and targets with parent, caregiver, or teacher
-
provide training and support to individuals who will implement behavioral strategies with client on a regular basis
In this model, the parent, caregiver, or teacher will
-
collect data outside of consult sessions to monitor progress
-
implement behavioral strategies in the home, community, or school setting
-
collaborate with BCBA to develop or modify behavioral strategies that can be implemented consistently in the target environment/situation to produce the most significant change in behavior
