Hey there, welcome to BEAM Behavior! I'm Shalyn Copas, and I'm so excited to have you here.

Let me give you a little backstory about myself. Starting back in 2007, I stepped into my first classroom role, then started my ABA journey in 2016. Since then, I've worn many hats – from special education teacher to in-home service provider, parent trainer, team leader, and more.

​

Currently, I'm an IEP Facilitator in the school setting. l get to work with teams of teachers and their student's families, helping them navigate the ins and outs of Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) so the teachers and focus on the classroom instruction. It's a collaborative effort with many rewards.  Prior to this role, I spent 15 school years, in the classroom. Behavior support, functional settings, resource rooms – you name it, I've probably done it! That experience shaped my understanding of how to best support students with diverse needs.

​

So why BEAM Behavior? Behavioral Engagement with Alignment and Mindfulness - I'm passionate about sharing how behavior management meets a variety of home and school needs. Whether you're a parent, educator, or fellow practitioner, my goal is to arm you with the tools and knowledge to support social-emotional well-being through a behavior lens.

​

Thanks for joining me on this journey. Let's dive in and make a difference together!

Warmest Regards,

Shalyn Copas, BCBA, LBA
