Put the fire out before it starts.

Dino shares his top strategies for preventing tricky behaviours so you can guide, not discipline.

The TLDR:

🌟Find their currency: It's not about motivating a young person through reward, it's about finding something that's intrinsically valuable to them and using that as motivation to make better choices.

🌟Identify their triggers: This doesn't mean push their boundaries - it means find the circumstance that could be triggering big behaviour. Did they sleep well last night? Have they eaten? Are they managing illness?

🌟Avoid tricky situations: Reduce exposure to environments that may amplify triggers in the moment and lead to a bigger meltdown.

Our CEO, Michelle, assumed the role of “client” for staff training on the EASI assessment, and let’s just say the outtakes speak for themselves!

But here’s the important part: There’s no right or wrong, and no pass or fail in our assessments.

They’re simply a tool to help us understand where an individual is at, so we can tailor therapy and track progress over time.

This baseline means every therapy plan is targeted, leading to more meaningful progress and better outcomes.
