Often times, Behavior Analysts find themselves providing services in the school setting whether it is as a District Level Behavior Analyst, Behavior Specialist or a consultant.  A common thread that is documented and has shown minimal progress for students is the confounding environmental variables that are found in the school setting. Such variables include the school structure and culture, motivation, and lack of resources.
