Case Study:
Reducing Restraints and Increasing Academic Success, Lawrence MA
Behavior Management through Adventure

Behavior Management through Adventure is a systematic approach to promoting positive behavior for clients with social maladjustment issues. Using a continuum of behavior supports and proactive strategies, this model provides alternatives to expulsion and raises academic and behavioral outcomes and allows children to remain or return to the least restrictive environment. The coordinated approach, customized manual, common language and training by an expert team results in a successful pilot or program that can be readily adapted by other programs or schools in your agency or district.
