Program Description

"Rather than focusing on kids’ challenging behaviors (and modifying them), Collaborative Proactive Solutions (CPS) helps kids and caregivers solve the problems that are causing those behaviors. The problem solving is collaborative (not unilateral) and proactive (not reactive). Research has shown that the model is effective not only at solving problems and improving behavior but also at enhancing skills. "
