From Theory to Practice: ABA in Schools An Academic and Systems-Based Framework for Educational Practice

Applied Behavior Analysis is widely used in schools, but it is often implemented in fragmented, inconsistent ways. From Theory to Practice: ABA in Schools stands apart by presenting ABA as a systems-based educational framework , rather than a set of standalone interventions. This book moves beyond checklists and classroom tricks to examine how assessment, intervention, collaboration, and ethical decision-making must function together within real school systems. The text addresses the full lifecycle of school-based behavior support, including behavior assessments and data collection, implementation of Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs), classroom strategies for educators, and coordinated collaboration among multidisciplinary teams. It also distinguishes itself by explicitly addressing implementation fidelity, treatment integrity, maintenance, generalization, and responsible disengagement from behavior services, topics often overlooked in comparable texts. Designed for BCBAs, educators, administrators, and school teams, this book reframes ABA in schools as a living, evolving educational system, one that prioritizes consistency, accountability, and sustainable student outcomes.
