Ron Demuesy joins me to unpack the vital and often nuanced role of school-based BCBAs. Unlike outsourced consultants, in-house BCBAs provide consistent presence, accessibility, and a deeper connection with students and staff.

Ron shares key insights for success:

Mind your language: Be technically accurate without drowning in jargon.
Ditch the forms: Gather meaningful information through conversation, not paperwork.
Focus on skill-building: Address behaviors by teaching replacement skills, not just stopping actions.
Find and be a mentor: Growth doesn’t end with certification—keep learning and connecting.

In addition to his school-based work, Ron serves as a lead consultant at FTF Consulting, teaching others to analyze and build skills for individuals with severe problem behaviors, while also contributing to research initiatives.

And don’t forget—our School-Based BCBA Startpack is there to help you hit the ground running, and we’d love for you to join us for a live Q&A with Ron on September 9th from 7 to 8 PM EST. You deserve to feel supported in the critical, transformative work you do every day.
