How often do we hear negative misconceptions to being a school-based BCBA?
Would you be open to hearing about the benefits of impacting the lives of all students and teachers?
During today’s meal - I speak with a school-based behavior analyst about supporting diverse students, learning from our clients, and her motto “I do this for kids like me.”

About Brittany Man, BCBA
I'm a school-based BCBA in Connecticut who found my calling in the field of behavior analysis in adulthood after taking a leap of faith and making a career change. From the moment I entered the field, I fell in love with it—while also cautiously questioning elements that didn’t quite sit right. Early on, a friend told me, “You’ve got a good gut,” when I voiced my concerns, and that simple affirmation gave me permission to trust myself and lean into what truly mattered to me. That instinct, I later realized, was the foundation of values-based living, which continues to guide my work today.
I’m neurodivergent myself and have experienced the IEP process from all angles—as a child who received one, the mother of a child with one, and now as a professional who helps create them. While working in schools often gets a bad rap, I love the reach and impact I have in this setting. I truly love what I do, I love learning, and I love discussing all things behavior analysis anywhere and everywhere.
Beyond work, I’m passionate about hiking, photography, dance parties, writing, and spending time with my family. And above all, I love working with kids and exploring the endlessly fascinating world of behavior.
