Whether you're a BCBA in the trenches or a district leader carrying the weight of behavior across buildings — if any of this sounds like you, you're in the right place.
A 12-page guide for BCBAs and district leaders who know something's off but can't put their finger on what. Take it to your next leadership meeting.
Send Me the Guide →It's not a lack of knowledge or motivation. You were trained for clinic work and dropped into K–12 with no map.
Your training prepared you for 1:1 sessions, structured environments, and parents who chose ABA. Schools are none of that. The strategies don't translate cleanly — and nobody in your supervised hours taught you how to coach a frustrated para in real time.
You can write the best BIP in the district, but if the teachers won't run it — or don't trust you — it's a piece of paper. Most BCBA training spends zero time on staff coaching, change management, or how to handle pushback.
You're the only BCBA in your district. There's no one to text when it's 8:47 a.m. and a situation just walked into your office. You start second-guessing yourself, dimming your voice in meetings, and quietly burning out — while everyone keeps telling you you're "doing great."
You're not behind. You're not failing. You're missing a system — and a community of people doing this work right alongside you.
Hi, I'm Meghan — a school-based BCBA, mentor, and creator of The Behavior Lounge. I started as a special education teacher and crossed over to ABA because I kept watching the same wheel get reinvented in every building. Clinic strategies didn't fit. Generic PD didn't help.
I spent a decade figuring out what actually works inside school walls — how to coach staff who didn't ask for your help, how to write BIPs teachers will actually run, how to set up systems that don't depend on you being the only person who understands them.
None of this was a business plan. It was an answer to the question I kept getting in my DMs: "How do you make this work?"
— Meghan, your school-based BCBA
No matter how we work together — membership, mentorship, or consulting with your district — here's what you can count on from me.
I'm not consulting from a clinic or a textbook. I'm a school-based BCBA who started as a sped teacher — so I know what it actually looks like inside a building, with real staff and real constraints.
No jargon parades. No "as a behavior analyst" lectures. You get honest feedback, plain-English strategies, and someone who'll tell you when something isn't going to fly in your setting.
Every call, training, or consult ends with something concrete — a template, a script, a next step. Not just insight you'll forget by Monday. Implementation is the whole point.
Not a course. Not a one-off training. An ongoing professional home built around four things you'll come back to every month.
Bring the situation you're sitting on right now and get real feedback. No more stewing on a problem for three weeks waiting for clinical supervision that doesn't really apply. Recordings always available.
Scripts for the hard conversations. Templates teachers actually read. Tools built for real classroom constraints. 70+ resources across 8 categories — new ones added every month.
Live monthly trainings + a full library — all designed for school-based work. School-based FBAs, coaching paraprofessionals, trauma-informed practices, de-escalation in real settings. Earn CEUs while learning things you can implement the same week.
The teacher's lounge for BCBAs — finally. School-based BCBAs at every stage: brand new, ten years in, district-wide, single building. Ask "what would you do here?" and get real answers from people in the actual setting.
70+ tools across 8 categories — built for real schools, used by real BCBAs. New resources every month.
Word-for-word scripts for the moments that catch you off guard.
Six scripts for the meetings that keep you up at night.
The 1-page BIP your teachers will actually read.
Phrases for holding the line without sounding cold.
Find out where a teacher actually stands before you keep pushing.
Pocket cards for coaching staff in the moment — without lecturing.
18 plug-and-play emails for conversations that take forever to write.
Audit the room before you write the plan. Half of behavior is environment.
The School Day ABA Conference brings 13 speakers together across two fully virtual days, with sessions built around the realities of school-based practice: real classrooms, real staff, real constraints. Attend live or catch the replays.
Home base for most school-based BCBAs, and the easiest place to start. Monthly CEUs, 70+ resources, weekly live support, and 260+ colleagues who get it.

Absolutely. Honestly, this is when most BCBAs join — that first year or two when nothing your training prepared you for is matching what you're seeing in the building. The Lounge gives you the systems, language, and support you wish someone had handed you on day one.
You'll get the community and CEUs you need to stay sharp, plus the resources that save you hours every month. Most experienced members say the biggest thing they get is finally not feeling so alone in the work.
The Lounge is designed to give you back time, not eat it. Most members spend 1–2 hours a month on the CEU and resources. Live Q&As are weekly, but recordings are always available.
Yes. All CEUs are BACB-approved through an authorized provider. You'll get a certificate with each one — keep them for your renewal cycle.
Many members start out paying out of pocket — it's less than a single conference registration. I also have a sample reimbursement request template inside the Lounge you can use to make the case to your district.
Behavior SOS™. It's a 90-minute emergency strategy session with priority scheduling: your session happens within 48 hours of booking, and a written action plan lands in your inbox within 24 hours after the call. See Behavior SOS™ on the services page.
