Jonathan has worked in special education from just about every angle: paraprofessional, classroom teacher, and now school-based BCBA. Fourteen years in, he specializes in bridging the gap between what ABA recommends and what schools can actually pull off on a Tuesday afternoon. He has consulted on 150+ IEPs and behavior intervention plans, and regularly trains teachers and paraprofessionals on evidence-based practices for students with autism. He writes honest posts about the school side of autism, like prepping for IEP meetings, understanding behavior plans, working effectively with school teams, and planning for transitions as kids grow up.
