About me

๐ผ https://www.linkedin.com/in/priya-sabnani
๐ผ I have been a teacher for 17 years: K-12 - managed thousands of kids over the years in every classroom possible- then Special Education teacher - and have transformed countless behaviors and lives via behavior management training (under a BCBA in 2018 - trained 600 hours) and via my work in the field of Education nearly two decades. "Behavior Analysis- if you search - is a "separate discipline and science."
๐ผ Not all counselors or teachers are trained in Behavior Analysis and definitely not 600 hours worth nor have worked in the field or applied the science. This is relevant because it's a field many aren't aware of. More explanation is provided in the 'Tip by a Psychologist ' page (see Menu) but briefly: Counselors and Psychologists within the school system also turn to Behavior Analysts and their methods for assistance when possible.
๐ผMany BAs and Interventionists within a school system are typically assisting children with severe needs and provide their assistance to several schools. Most also are not available to serve the general public via private practice because there is an overwhelming need to serve clients who have severe needs and deficiencies and thus, they are paid via Medicaid if not working in a school system serving several schools.
๐ผ In other words, their methods and Intervention strategies which differ from Counselors are in high demand and not easily accessible - There is also a national shortage of BAs. BAs/BCBAs can transform any behavior (provide adults with strategies to implement) and with children/students not needing to spend hours upon hours in an office with a School Counselor/Psychologist though for some students, this is also needed. Again, the Webpage here explains more in detail on this phenomenon.
๐ผ Suffice it to say, with my training and experience in Behavior Analysis: I am equipped to help you! I currently work as a Behavior Therapist and I'm also working part time as a teacher (K-12).
๐ผ Please search "Behavior Analysis degrees or Behavior Analyst jobs to learn more about the field.
From: https://www.reddit.com/r/schoolpsychology/comments/mvzjqm/aba_and_school_psychology/
"In my current role as a school psychologist, I lean on my two very friendly and knowledgeable BCBAs for collaboration and problem solving, and I use the principles of ABA in my work every day when deescalating students, creating positive behavior support interventions/plans, and trying to identify patterns/antecedents for challenging behavior."
๐ผ My goal is to reach and help as many families and individuals possible - as a Behavior Coach and Happiness/Relationship Coach.
๐ผ There isn't a classroom, family or individual I haven't been able to help and transform in the best way possible since 2018.
