Behavior support that actually works in real schools.
Whether you're the only BCBA in your building or the administrator trying to fix a system that keeps breaking, you don't need another consultant with a binder full of theory. You need someone who has done this job, inside real schools, with real constraints.
Start with the seat you're sitting in.
Every service on this page solves the same problem: behavior support that doesn't hold up in real schools. The right starting point depends on your role.
You're the behavior person.
The only BCBA in the building, carrying the caseload and the pressure solo.
Want community, CEUs, and resources instead? That's The Behavior Lounge.
You lead the building or district.
Responsible for a behavior system that keeps breaking, and staff need answers now.
Need help this week? Behavior SOS™ gets you a session within 48 hours.

Behavior systems that actually work, live and in person.
Been there. Written that FBA. Sat in that meeting.
Hi, I'm Meghan, a school-based BCBA and former special education teacher. Before consulting, my days looked like yours: overloaded caseloads, plans nobody followed, crisis calls during lunch, and the constant feeling of proving my value to people who weren't sure what a BCBA even does.
Everything I bring into your school comes from that seat, not a clinic, not a textbook. My work is built on one belief: the best intervention is the one people will actually implement.
School-first, always.
Every recommendation is filtered through one question: will this survive a real Tuesday in a real classroom?
Systems over hero work.
You shouldn't have to be the reason behavior support works. We build structures that hold even when you're out sick.
Support, not judgment.
No audits designed to make your team feel bad. Just honest observations and a realistic path forward.
Six ways to get support.
From monthly coaching to full district partnerships, every service is built around one goal: sustainable behavior support that doesn't depend on one exhausted person holding it all together.
Stop figuring this job out alone.
Monthly, personalized coaching for school-based BCBAs who want a trusted thought partner in their corner all year long.
The problems it solves
- Second-guessing decisions with no one to run them by
- Sticky cases that stall for months without fresh eyes
- Ethical gray areas grad school never covered
- Being "the behavior person" with no behavior colleagues
What's included
- Monthly 1:1 coaching call for your hardest cases and questions
- Between-call messaging for "quick question" moments
- Case consultation from someone who knows school constraints
- Document feedback on FBAs, BIPs, and reports before they go out
The outcome: Faster, more confident decisions and cases that finally move instead of stall.
Best for: The capable BCBA carrying it all solo, who knows one hour a month with the right person changes the whole year.
Behavior SOS™: when it can't wait until next quarter.
An emergency strategy session for BCBAs and school teams that need immediate behavior support, with a session on the calendar within 48 hours.
Common SOS situations
What's included
- Priority scheduling: session within 48 hours of booking
- 90-minute emergency strategy session with your team
- Triage plan by urgency: today, this week, this month
- Written action summary within 24 hours of the call
- Honest guidance on whether you need ongoing support or just this reset
The outcome: A stabilization plan with names attached and clear next steps. Panic becomes a plan.
Best for: The BCBA or school leader who knows this can't wait and would rather bring in help now than explain later why they didn't.
Find out why your behavior system keeps breaking.
A full review of your school's behavior systems, with clear recommendations and an implementation roadmap your team can actually follow.
The problems it solves
- Referrals that keep climbing no matter what you try
- Behavior plans that exist on paper but not in classrooms
- Staff who feel unsupported and are starting to say so
- No clear picture of where the system actually fails
What's included
- Review of referrals, plans, data systems, and staff supports
- On-site or virtual observations and staff interviews
- Plain-language findings report (no 60-page binder)
- Prioritized roadmap: fix first, wait, and stop doing entirely
The outcome: A clear diagnosis of where the system breaks and a plan sequenced for your real capacity.
Best for: The school leader done throwing one-off PD days at a systems problem.
Plans that hold up in the classroom and the IEP meeting.
Professional review of your FBAs, BIPs, data systems, and behavior documentation, so your paperwork is defensible, realistic, and implementable.
The problems it solves
- BIPs that are technically sound but impossible to run
- FBAs that wouldn't survive a contentious meeting
- Data systems that collect everything and inform nothing
- No feedback loop, because there's no other BCBA to ask
What's included
- Detailed written review of submitted documents
- Feedback on clinical quality and classroom feasibility
- Specific revision recommendations, not vague notes
- Optional live walkthrough call to talk it through
The outcome: Documentation you can stand behind and plans teachers actually run.
Best for: The practitioner who wants honest feedback from someone who has written hundreds of these inside real schools.
Ninety minutes to a clearer behavior plan.
A focused 90-minute working session for administrators who need expert guidance on behavior supports, without committing to a long engagement first.
The problems it solves
- Behavior decisions made without behavior expertise in the room
- Not knowing if you need a BCBA, a coach, paras, or a new system
- A situation escalating while you're stuck on next steps
- Wanting a second opinion before a bigger investment
What's included
- Pre-session questionnaire so we hit the ground running
- 90 minutes of focused, honest strategy with your real numbers
- Follow-up summary with recommended next steps in writing
- Clear guidance on in-house fixes vs. outside support
The outcome: A decision made, a direction set, and language ready for your leadership team or board.
Best for: The administrator who would rather spend 90 minutes with the right person than six months guessing.
Build a behavior system your district doesn't outgrow.
Customized, ongoing consulting to build sustainable behavior systems across your schools, powered by The School-Based Behavior System™.
Structure
Clear roles and processes everyone can name.
Strategy
Plans built for real classrooms, not ideal ones.
Staff
Training that changes practice, not just sign-in sheets.
Sustain
Systems that survive turnover and hard years.
The problems it solves
- Every building doing behavior support differently
- Burnout and turnover in behavior and SPED teams
- Trainings that never turn into changed practice
- Systems that collapse when a key person leaves
What's included
- Custom engagement built around your district's size and capacity
- Implementation of the four pillars across your schools
- Staff training and coaching beyond the sit-and-get PD day
- Leadership support and systems designed to outlast the engagement
The outcome: Consistent support across buildings and a system that keeps working after the consultant leaves. That last part is the point.
Best for: The district done renting solutions and ready to own a system.
From putting out fires to building something that lasts.
Right now
- Behavior support depends on one or two exhausted people
- Plans get written, filed, and forgotten
- Staff feel blamed instead of supported
- Every year starts with the same problems as last year
After we work together
- Support is built into the system, not the person
- Plans are simple enough that people actually run them
- Staff know exactly what to do and who to call
- Each year builds on the last instead of starting over
Sustainable beats impressive. Every single time.
What schools and BCBAs are saying.
"Thank you for making me feel seen."
"The teachers are finally using it."
"Your resources have given me life again."
Questions? Good. You should be asking them.
Fair question, and honestly, that experience is exactly why this work exists. Most consulting fails because it's designed around ideal conditions instead of real ones. Everything here is built to survive your actual constraints: your staffing, your schedules, your budget. If a recommendation won't hold up on a chaotic Tuesday in October, it doesn't make the plan.
Both. Office Hours, Plan Reviews, Strategy Sessions, and Behavior SOS sessions are fully virtual. Systems Reviews and District Consulting can be virtual, on-site, or hybrid depending on your needs and location.
Yes. Several of these services exist precisely because many schools don't have behavior expertise in-house. The Administrator Strategy Session and Systems Review are great starting points.
Book the free 15-minute fit call. You'll get an honest recommendation, including "you don't need me for this yet" if that's the truth. No one gets pitched something they don't need.
Often, yes. Many districts use professional development, IDEA, or MTSS-related funding. An itemized proposal and any documentation your business office needs is part of the process.
The Behavior Lounge is a membership community for school-based BCBAs: CEUs, resources, and peer support at an accessible price. These consulting services are individualized, hands-on work with your school, your documents, and your systems. Many BCBAs do both.
Your school doesn't need another initiative. It needs a system.
Fifteen minutes. No pitch deck, no pressure. Just an honest conversation about what's happening in your school and whether one of these services is the right fit. If it's not, you'll leave with a recommendation anyway.
