The behavioral principles that govern client outcomes are the same principles that govern staff performance and organizational sustainability. Reinforcement, extinction, motivating operations, and stimulus control apply to the behavior of BCBAs, RBTs, and clinical directors just as reliably as they apply to the clients on their caseloads.

I am Meg Solomon, the founder and lead Board Certified Behavior Analyst at ABA Across Environments. Although I have always been inspired by children, I never realized that I would find so much fulfillment working in the field of Behavior Analysis. Upon graduating with my Bachelor’s from Southwestern University, I was unsure of what next step I should take. I lived in both Dallas and Los Angeles and worked in high-paced corporate environments, high-end retail, and with some of the most incredible restaurants and with some of the most talented chefs and winemakers in the world. As much personal growth as I experienced, I did not feel fulfilled with my career, and I didn’t feel as though I was working inline with my values of helping others. After volunteering with a school in Los Angeles and working many other jobs with children, neuroscience, neurodiversity, play, and developing foundational skills to help further my career, I began working for a national ABA company and soon fell in love with the science of helping others. I went on to get my Master’s degree from Baylor University in Waco, Texas. In 2015, my husband and I welcomed our first child, and I started my career as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. While working in the clinical setting, I noticed that I wanted to do more. The behavior changes that we were seeing at the centers were not generalizing to the home or community, and parents were struggling. In 2018, I took a huge leap of faith and started Across Environments. My hope was that these amazing changes would generalize to the home, school, and beyond. Shortly after founding the company, our daughter was born, which added more challenges and inspired more creativity with how to raise our children while building a business. Being a business owner, a BCBA, and a parent has improved how I use ABA as a tool to help grow and use my values to help others. We use ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) as the foundation for all of our behavior change programs so that we are person-centered and value-based. We hope to continue to grow and help facilitate positive outcomes for future generations!
