What is a Coaching and Education model?
The "Art" in Behavior Change is all about finding just the right techniques and strategies. Each program I create is uniquely designed for the individual, although based on a best practice models of coaching or behavioral education.
We collaborate, I teach, and coach you to successfully implement this plan ,and along the way we fix what needs hasn't worked and build upon what is successful. As we work together we are actively working with he following coaching principles:
- Action plans: steps to take towards goals
- Strategies: the techniques used to work toward behavior change.
- Feedback: constructive and practical guidance to help you move towards the results you are looking for.
- Support: listening, understanding and brainstorming ways to make the change process as easy as
- Program modification: adjusting, tweaking or modifying what you are already doing to get better results
- Monitoring: keeping track of progress and anything else going on that needs to be handled
Self-Monitoring: methods to help your child move toward independence and taking over the job of his or her behavior change.
Just, Who is a challenging loved one?
Someone who is having a great deal of difficulty moving forward in their life, usually struggling with social skills or life skills that are very hard for them to catch on to. They have strengths, talents and skills that are not being tapped into deeply enough to live well and fully. It does not matter if you do or do not know what your loved one#s strengths are when we start working together. Often you know but just cannot verbalize it. I help you figure that out and then we get to work!
Your challenging loved one may be someone who just seems to struggle more than the average person - someone who is often labeled with words like 'oppositional' or 'disorganized' or 'hyper-sensitive' or 'has no social skills.' They may have an official diagnosis such as Asperger's Syndrome or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or simply a quirkiness that seems to be a constant obstacle. However, what is important is the behavior we see and what specific and personalized steps help your loved one really change his or her life and live in joy and satisfaction.
How does coaching work by phone?
It is surprisingly effective - and convenient. The phone method helps people focus in on precisely what we are doing together, eliminating other distractions. For example, in face to face sessions, eye contact can be a sensory burden for people with Asperger's. Many people on the autism spectrum are most effective, and often very articulate communicators when using computers to express themselves. Computers also allow the transmission of visual supports which i may email ahead for our work together, and with headsets, sessions can be hands free and interactive.
Of course,for some special needs clients and those with whom I spend time coaching out in the community, person to person meetings are essential.
Groups by phone or webinar connect like a family, though they may be scattered from coast to coast and beyond.
What is the difference between coaching and therapy?
Coaching gets into action immediately, orienting around the present and future. Coaching questions are more commonly "how" and "what" questions, for example, "What will be involved in accomplishing this goal?" and "How will you know this strategy is working?" do we "Why" questionnaire least used. In coaching and education, we awaken skills, design strategies and get you moving, accomplishing and feeling better step by step immediately. Coaching is not a substitute for therapy where it may be advised. I encourage my clients to consult with appropriate mental health professionals for therapy or medication concerns. I work with other professionals to coordinate our services and help our client keep progressing.
How do you know what will work with the uniquely challenging behaviors of my loved one, if I don't live close enough for you to meet him or her?
One of my service options is traveling to meet, observe, make assessments and then plan a program which we then continue working on by phone, as I coach you through the steps of implementation. However traveling to meet you is not typically necessary. I have not yet met a client who does not have talents, strengths, interests, or skills that cannot be awakened to brighten up their lives. I teach you and your challenging loved ones strategies to live fully. See top of my services page for different ways we can work together.
What happens when we are trying to implement our behavior program in places such as schools, day programs or group homes?
I can help you and work with teachers and school staff to set up strategies that generalize behaviors to hone or school environments. Often we find that the school holds a lot of helpful information, because they know what works with your child. I can also help by advocating with you and for you in the schools and programs where you want to see new behaviors encouraged.
What happens if my challenging loved one is in a different city from me?
I work often with parents and guardians who are in a different city from their child, who may be at college or a work program. Your loved one may be at a special residence or a boarding school or living on their own. In some cases, we set up a communication system that keeps you in informed so you know what is happening.
How do you help educators?
I assist teachers and administrators in the following areas related:
1. Social and cooperative learning skills: Classroom teachers are usually in the classroom because they #love# kids and want to make a difference in their futures. But teachers are quickly worn down by social problems or #exceptional student# behaviors that get in the way of moving forward with their academic curricula. Social skills is not on the standard curriculum in most schools and when students become #challenging loved ones# good teachers become frustrated and burnt out. My Art of Behavior Change program is built on solid principles of classroom control and happy cooperative learning environments.
2. Exceptional Student Education: Mainstream classroom teachers are often baffled about how to best work with special needs or #exceptional# students in their mainstream classrooms. We work together to explore how to make #inclusion# successful for both teacher and student, looking at models of social problem solving and cooperative learning.
3. Self-Contained Exceptional Student Classrooms and Special Education Resource Teachers: Special education teachers need the very specific, micro-steps that open #exceptional students# to their best learning. We work together to determine how to support both the students and the mainstream classroom teacher.
