The calm program has been used successfully for over 10 years at the New England Center for Children, a nationally recognized program for children with severe challenging behavior. Module 1 offers a complete agency policy and documentation module. Modules 2 and 3 teach proactive strategies to prevent challenging behavior. By understanding the precursors to violent behavior, educators can learn strategies to prevent, de-escalate, and teach alternatives to violent behavior. Modules 4 and 5 teach a range of physical skills to safely manage dangerous behavior.
Special emphasis is placed on using the least intrusive physical skill possible.
This approach minimizes the chance of injury to student or educator and reduces the possibility of litigation resulting from improperly managed violent episodes. Module 6 teaches safe physical prompting for young children with developmental disabilities.
