Total Behavior Management workshops are designed for all school personnel.
Participants walk away with hundreds of
practical, "best practice" strategies that are easily implemented and based on current research.
A fun, interactive, and empathy-building workshop for providers who work with people with “invisible disabilities.” For the inclusive educational setting, this workshop is an absolute MUST for an entire staff to participate in. Participants leave this workshop with an understanding of what it feels like to experience different hidden disabilities such as auditory processing & perceptual problems, and learning disabilities. Learn a formula for developing easy practical strategies. This has been one of TMB's most popular workshops for ten years running!
