School-Based Behavioral & Special Education Support

Helping districts strengthen classrooms, support staff, and meet the needs of every learner.

How We Support School Districts

Applied ABC partners with school districts to provide reliable, in-school support for students, educators, and entire special education programs. We have partnered with districts in over 25 states to deliver services with our local teams. Our teams integrate seamlessly into school buildings and work under district direction to enhance existing services not replace them.

We offer trained staff, specialized expertise, and hands-on support that improves student outcomes and classroom stability.

Personalized Support Tailored to Your District’s Needs

Every district, school, and classroom is unique, and so are the needs of the students you serve. Instead of offering a single model, Applied ABC builds customized support plans that reflect your priorities, staffing structure, and student population. We partner with district leadership to create solutions that blend naturally into your existing programs and expectations.

Your district sets the goals, and we build the plan with a customized approach that includes:

Flexible staffing options
BCBAs, SPED teachers, paraprofessionals, RBTs, and behavior specialists. Available full time, part time, or as needed

Support tailored to your buildings
Self-contained classrooms, resource rooms, inclusion settings, behavior programs, or districtwide initiatives

Student specific support
Strategies aligned to IEP goals, behavior plans, instructional expectations, and team priorities

Customized training and coaching
Designed for teachers, paras, administrators, and support teams based on your district’s needs

Integration with district systems
MTSS, RTI, IEP processes, behavior teams, special education procedures, and administrative workflows

Our goal is to strengthen your internal capacity so classrooms become more consistent, predictable, and successful for all students.

FAQ

How are your in-school therapists trained?

Our therapists receive extensive training and supervision from our BCBAs and Clinical Support teams before being placed in school settings. We provide all school-based providers with access to our 40-Hour RBT Course, an in-depth training module that prepares paraprofessionals to earn their RBT credential – an important accreditation in the ABA field that many states require.

Our agency also provides periodic Safety Care Training. If your school district has other training available, our providers would be happy to receive an invitation!

Our BCBAs create individualized programs that target students’ specific behavioral needs and/or IEP goals. Therapists collect data while providing treatment and share this information with the school team to monitor students’ progress toward reaching their target goals. Data is compiled into our proprietary mobile app, called ATrack, where authorized faculty can view charts, graphs, and other developmental information.

If one of our providers calls out due to an emergency or needs to take an extended leave, we will notify the school team immediately. For short-term coverage, we will attempt to locate another available provider in the area to cover the absence.

For longer-term absences, we will work to find a more permanent replacement to ensure the frequency and quality of our services remains exceptional. All costs associated with locating, onboarding, and dispatching substitute providers are our responsibility.
