Testimonials

"I have been in education over 25 years and have participated in numerous student intervention programs, but I can say without hesitation that the RESPECT program is by far the best thought out, responsive, safe, and effective program that I have participated in and used in a school setting. The name says it all, it "RESPECTS" both the student and the adult.  I highly recommend it."

“..for many years we have looked for a behavior management program that focused on de -escalation, and had physical interventions that met the philosophy.  Our frustration was not around the many great programs regarding de-escalation, but with physical teachings that always took us back to times of very physical restraining techniques that are dangerous for kids and staff.   RESPECT is the first program I have seen in my 35 years of this work that successfully bridges that gap.  RESPECT’s physical interventions are de-escalating.  It is a great program that provides safety, security, calmness and physical interventions that match the philosophy of de-escalation.

“The RESPECT program is the first program to seriously address restraint elimination with some practical tools.  This program will bring dignity into the relationship between children and adults in mental health treatment.  The program builds from the basic fundamentals of professionalism and incorporates new techniques that do not require using force against force.”
