BrighterBalance was designed in consultation with Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and aligned with the latest guidance from the IRIS Center and PBIS frameworks. We believe that effective behavior support starts with accurate, real-time data—and that teachers deserve tools that make documentation effortless, not burdensome.
