| Description |
Based on research in the neurosciences over the past 30 to 40 years, Dr. Ross Greene’s empirically-supported model, described in his books “The Explosive Child” and “Lost at School,” suggests that challenging behavior is the result of lagging cognitive skills, especially in the domains of flexibility/adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem-solving. The Collaborative&Proactive Solutions model helps adults and kids collaboratively solve the problems precipitating challenging behavior, while simultaneously teaching lagging skills.
The model, which represents a dramatic departure from conventional wisdom and practice, has been found to be highly effective in an array of settings, including families; general and special education schools; therapeutic group homes; and inpatient, residential and juvenile detention facilities.
Participants in this workshop will leave with practical assessment and intervention tools that can be used in diverse settings, as well as an understanding of the foundation of the model.
