Listening on the First Ask
This is a PowerPoint Presentation I present to teachers or parents on how to help them increase student compliance. The presentation details a Reverse Time-Out, Planned Ignoring, Specific Praise, and an explanation of the functions of behavior and why students misbehave. Great for a Professional Development presentation.

Erin's Law Presentation
It is state law in Illinois and at least 19 other states that each year every student in grades K-12 will receive instruction defining sexual abuse and ways to get help. As fantastic as this law is, I have yet to find affordable and effective lesson plans on safe and unsafe touch. I try to provide you an outline here and some activities that you can modify for grades K-9th grade.

Teacher Responses to Selective Mutism

Please consult a behavioral interventionist, developmental pediatrician, or behavioral interventionist for more details.

Two Choice Behavior Plan
I designed my own Two-Choice Behavior Plan to help parents learn the skills of Planned Ignoring (Reverse Time Outs) so they can maintain consistency between school and home. Parents rave that the "Two-Choice Behavior Plan" works faster and more consistently than "1, 2, 3 Magic" at increasing compliance in their children and even teens.
