Megan is first and foremost a teacher. She is also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Lecturer at Kean University. She teaches courses at the College of Education and at the School of Special Education and Literacy. She currently is pursuing her doctoral studies at Kean University. She has taught in self-contained autism classrooms for ten years, from preschool up to high school all over central New Jersey. Autism and children are her passion.
When Megan was a paraprofessional, she had a pipe-dream: to be involved in the field at the university level and be a part of the researchers that will change this field, or more truthfully, the world. It is not a dream for her anymore. Autism in New Jersey right now affects 1 in 34 children. She believes we have to give teachers, BCBAs, and parents the right tools for the job. She states, "From the general education teacher who knew she didn’t want to be a special education teacher, to the special education teacher who knew she didn’t want to be a BCBA, imagine what I will know tomorrow. I did not end up where I intended to be, but I definitely ended up right where I am supposed to be."
