School Behavioral Consulting


What good behavior support actually looks like in schools.

Behavior support in schools shouldn’t start at the point of crisis.

Inclusive behavior supports don’t fail because they’re wrong— they fail because they’re not implemented consistently.

We help school teams build practical, preventative systems so staff feel confident and support actually works in the classroom.

When behavior becomes a daily challenge, it impacts everyone—students, staff and families.

Does this sound familiar?

For school teams:

  • Behavior supports and classroom systems look good on paper—but aren’t used consistently

  • Staff feel overwhelmed, underprepared, or unsupported

  • Teams are reacting to behavior instead of preventing it

  • Burnout is high and systems don’t feel sustainable

If you’re a district or school leader looking for help with supporting inclusion and building systems your Special Education teams can actually use.

For families:

  • You’re being asked to pick your child up early due to behavior

  • You’ve been told your child “doesn’t qualify”—but things aren’t improving

  • You’re trying to advocate, but don’t know what to ask for or expect

If you’re navigating Special Education and your child isn’t getting the support they need, I offer advocacy and consultation to help you move forward with clarity.

You’re not alone—and there’s a better way to approach this work.

A different approach to behavior support in schools

Real change doesn’t come from programs—it comes from people.

Too often, behavior support starts after things have already escalated.

But meaningful change happens earlier—through prevention, clarity, and consistent systems.

Schools don’t need another curriculum or packaged solution.

They need:

  • Practical strategies that work in real classrooms

  • Ongoing coaching—not one-time training

  • Systems that support both students and staff

That’s where we focus our work.

What makes this different

  • Led by a former Special Education teacher and BCBA/LBA

  • Supported by a team of experienced school-based professionals

  • All work is closely supervised to ensure consistent, high-quality support

  • Coaching-focused approach that builds capacity for inclusion within your existing staff

  • School-based professionals only—we do not provide in-home services or behavior technicians

    We don’t just define what good support looks like—we help teams implement it in real classrooms.

How we work: from plans to practice

8-12 week intensive staff coaching cycle

1. Understand the full picture
We assess current systems, data, and team needs


2. Build practical, preventative strategies
Function-based supports that fit your setting


3. Coach to implementation
Ongoing, real-time support so staff can use strategies consistently and confidently

Because real change doesn’t happen from a one-time training—it happens through supported implementation over time.

Ways We Can Work Together

  • Every partnership is tailored—but support typically includes a combination of:

    Staff Coaching & Classroom Support
    Job-embedded coaching to build confidence and consistency, particularly centered around inclusion of students with challenging behaviors

    Professional Development
    Practical, school-based training paired with fidelity tools and follow-up support

    BCBA Consultation & Supervision
    Guidance for teams needing behavior expertise and compliance support-including Supervision for internal or agency-contracted RBT/CBTs.

    Our work together is designed to move beyond training—and into consistent, sustainable support.
