👋 Welcome! I’m Matt Gomez — special education teacher, BCBA, and founder of Genesis Behavioral Solutions.
By day, I support students with special needs in the classroom. By night (and during nap time), I help schools solve behavior challenges, train teachers, and build systems that actually work — for kids and the adults who teach them.
At Genesis Behavioral Solutions, our mission is simple: to equip educators to foster courage over compliance. That means helping schools move beyond behavior charts and quick fixes to create classrooms where students feel safe, empowered, and motivated to grow.
I also run a YouTube channel where I react to teaching trends, viral TikToks, movies, TV shows, and music — all through the lens of education and behavioral science. Whether I’m breaking down classroom scenes from Abbott Elementary or analyzing the behavior lessons in a hit song, I keep it practical, insightful, and real.
This blog is a space to dig deeper — to share behavior strategies, consulting insights, and real-world stories that help educators create lasting change.
✅ If you’re looking for classroom behavior strategies, behavior consulting for schools, or thoughtful takes on culture through the eyes of a teacher and BCBA — you’re in the right place.
I started Genesis Behavioral Solutions to bring practical, research-backed strategies from Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) directly to schools and classrooms. My goal? To help teachers prevent burnoout, improve behavior, and make classrooms run smoother — without gimmicks.
