Areas of Expertise
Our Story
More than 20 years ago, I stood in front of a classroom of students with significant behavioral and learning needs. One student in particular had completely given up on reading. He struggled so profoundly that even trying seemed impossible.
Then a behavior analyst visited my classroom and modeled a different way forward—using behavioral principles to teach in a structured, systematic way. Within a year, that student gained three grade levels in reading. That moment changed the trajectory of my career.
I realized two things:
- 1Behavior principles unlock potential when applied with skill and consistency.
- 2Systems matter. Without the right structures, even the best strategies fall apart.

Why We Exist
If you work in schools, you may recognize these challenges:
High‑stakes problem behavior without a clear, shared plan
Implementation barriers and inconsistent fidelity
Exhaustion, competing priorities, and staff turnover
Most teams weren't given a predictable, school‑ready system for behavior change. We're changing that—one practical tool at a time.
