Advice Needed ABA in Schools

Hey everyone! I just wanted your opinion on ABA being used in schools, especially for our special needs learners or children with social-emotional challenges. I have been working with a SPED teacher since the beginning of the school year and every opportunity she gets, she always mentions that, "ABA isn't the solution" and that "I need to go back to a clinic" as well as not allowing me to practice my ABA interventions (even though that's why I was hired by the principal) and actively discouraging me. Is this just a bad teacher? Should I stay in the school district? Go back to a clinic? Any advice on the matter would be appreciated. 😌

I really enjoy working in the school district. I get breaks off and I find the compensation to be higher. But all the teachers are wonderful and work closely with us to implement our strategies and run trials. What does your BCBA say about the teacher? Maybe they need to sit down with them.

You need to find a new job STAT.

Implementing ABA without a supervising BCBA is a huge no no and will get you into a shit ton of trouble.
