The SCS Philosophy of Integrated Intervention

 Sadly, in the past, parents have been led to believe that parents must choose treatment for their child based on one single methodology or another - and to the exclusion of others.  This caused parents to worry whether or not they have chosen the "right" approach.  There has always been a robust body of solid evidence supporting a variety of effective approaches - and no single intensive treatment has ever proven to be more effective than any other.

Crisis Intervention/Stages and Appropriate Adult Actions
It should be noted first that the most effective way to reduce oppositional and rage attacks is to reduce the number of power struggles that occur.  

View Power Struggles and Oppositional Behavior as a Failure of Problem-Solving:  It is important here to view power struggles as a failure of one or both parties to engage in more productive means of problems-solving.  Problem-solving may be thwarted by either party's faulty perceptions or reasoning process, but as you learned from training in problem-solving, the whole process of problem-solving is to clarify situations and teach logical emotional reasoning.

View Resistant and Explosive Behaviors as Defenses Against Anxiety: It is also important to view oppositional behavior in terms of the Student's valid need to regulate anxiety.  It is not the need that is the problem - it is the means in which the Student goes about it that is the problem.

Think About...
I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models.... It's not like it was when I was growing up. My mom and my grandmother told me how it was going to be. If I didn't like it, they said, "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out." Parents have to take better control. ~Charles Barkley
