      of individuals.

     difficult”.

Our Message:
The safe management of “harm to self or others” behavior may well be the most demanding professional task faced by teachers and social service personnel.  Success in these situations requires a set of knowledge and skills. 

In addition, intervention staff must possess a true commitment to assisting individuals even when their behavior is most challenging.  All who work with these individuals do not have this commitment.  Some have it by nature.  Some develop it through experience.  Some never get it.  In the crisis moments, this commitment translates as the “attitude of the intervention” 

Today there are various behavior management intervention systems available.  Some are designed to positively assist clients and students in their growth and development, while others are constructed to make working with troubled individuals more convenient for staff.  The world of social service and education is inconvenient labor.  Choose carefully.
