Abstract

More than anything else, Melissa wants to play Charlotte in her fourth-grade class's production of Charlotte's Web. The problem is, her teacher won't let her, because her teacher thinks Melissa is a boy. But Melissa isn't about to let that squash her dream. With the help of her best friend, Melissa must learn to stand up for her wish - and brave a few bullies along the way.

Abstract

The popular, research-based Prevent-Teach-Reinforce (PTR) model is used in schools and childcare settings to address challenging behaviours in children with and without disabilties. Now, with the Prevent-Teach-Reinforce for Families (PTR-F) model in this accessible guidebook, you can use this proven approach with families to help them resolve their child's challenging behaviour in their own homes and communities.

Developed by top behaviour experts, PTR-F is a highly effective intervention model that helps families prevent behaviour problems in children ages 2-10, teach proactive communication and social skills, and reinforce positive behaviour. In this expertly organized book, you'll discover how to take on the role of PTR-F facilitator to meet each family's unique needs, and you'll get a clear 5-step process for guiding families as they promote their child's positive behaviour. With this comprehensive, adaptable model of behaviour support, you'll strengthen family engagement, set each child on the path to healthy social-emotional development, and improve quality of life for the entire family.

Help families with the 5-step PRT-F Process: Initiating the process; Assessment; Intervention; Coaching; Monitoring. Practical materials include: printable forms (including a Behavior Rating Scale for data collection, Assessment Checklists, Behavior Support Plan Summary, Fidelity of Strategy Implementation Form, and complete PRT-F Plan Implementation Guide), plus extended case examples that walk you through the PTR-F steps and bring the process to life.
