Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) Intevention Bundle
Resolve Challenging Behaviors through Empathy, Skill-Building, and Collaborative Planning
Grounded in the evidence-based CPS model developed by Dr. Ross Greene and refined with his long-time colleague Dr. J. Stuart Ablon, this service bundle is designed for caregivers and educators seeking to proactively address challenging behavior without using rewards, punishments, or compliance-based interventions.
Rather than focusing on what's wrong with the child, we help adults understand what's getting in the way and guide them step-by-step through Plan B conversations and the ALSUP process to build real, sustainable solutions.
