If compliance-based strategies have led to power struggles, dysregulation, and strained relationships with any of your clients, then you don’t want to miss Behavior Connect!

When we look only at observable “behaviors,” we often miss the neurological and environmental factors influencing a child’s reactions. Unfortunately, many methods currently in use like picture exchange, first-then visuals, and planned ignoring can lead to power struggles in your sessions.

The methods themselves aren’t inherently problematic, but the reality is that many of these approaches are often used to promote compliance and focus on ‘fixing’ a child’s behavior without always accounting for neurological differences, traumatic experiences, sensory needs, and access to robust communication systems.

There are better ways to support children in various settings, from fostering connection and emotional safety to trauma-informed care. We’re here to guide you through practical, affirming strategies to help everyone thrive!

That’s why we’re introducing Behavior Connect!
