Collaborative & Proactive Solutions Workshop

Collaborative & Proactive Solutions: Understanding and Helping Students with Social, Emotional, and Behavioral Challenges

Presenter:  Ross W. Greene, Ph.D.

November 5, 2015

Sponsored by the Indiana Resource Center for Autism
In Collaboration with Avon Community School Corporation

This is the empirically supported model Dr. Ross Greene describes in his influential books, "The Explosive Child" and "Lost at School." The CPS model has transformed thinking and practices in countless schools, inpatient psychiatry units, and residential and juvenile detention facilities, and has been associated with dramatic reductions in disciplinary referrals, detentions, suspensions, seclusions, and physical, chemical and mechanical restraints. The model represents a significant departure from discipline-as-usual: it focuses on solving problems rather than on modifying behavior, emphasizes collaborative rather than unilateral solutions, encourages proactive rather than reactive intervention, de-emphasizes diagnostic categories, and provides practical, research-based tools for assessment and intervention.
