Practical tools and staff training from a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Special Education Teacher that reduces challenging behavior. Teachers and staff learn to manage their own stress, build trust with students, and respond calmly when a student escalates.
Students escalate more often and take longer to regulate. Staff are tired.
Most behavior training focuses on what to do once a student is already escalated. By then, the adult is stressed too. A stressed adult talks faster, louder, and with less patience, and students pick up on it before a word is said. The situation gets worse.
Kristy's training starts earlier, with the adults.
