My name is Meghan, and it all started when I was a special education teacher struggling with behavior management who went on to become a BCBA.

On my journey to becoming a BCBA I actually left the field of education after 5 years, thinking I’d never come back. I gained several years experience applying my skills as a BCBA in homes, day programs, community settings, and the occasional school.

The educator in me just couldn’t stay away and I ventured back into schools but through the private sector working in a therapeutic day school serving some of the most aggressive and self injurious students from about thirty different districts in a suburban area. While there I built a behavior program from the ground up coaching and training staff to implement behavior principles into their everyday practice.

After several years there, I made my way back into the public education world doing the exact same thing, coaching and training public school educators to implement behavior principles with all students not just those with individualized education plans. I really have found such a passion disseminating the field of behavior analysis to others and building their capacities to implement strategies.

I now offer my experience to others in the form of mentoring, supervision, downloadable resources, my blog, and soon to come courses for educators and BCBA’s.
