Description

Have you ever felt like you spend so much time dealing with attention or behavior issues that your therapy or educational goals suffer?  When children become dysregulated in emotion, thought, or behavior they’re simply not able to meaningfully participate in tasks.  And while it can only take an instant for some kids to collapse into a tantrum (or other resistant behavior), it takes much longer to de-escalate to a point where a child is capable of cooperating and by then you’ve lost so much valuable time for learning.

Now imagine a reserve of practical strategies to deal with difficult behaviors in children in your back pocket.

Watch Kathryne Cammisa. MHE, OTR/L as she walks you step by-step- through strategies that will empower you & the children you work with for positive behavior change.  Learn & practice quick techniques that will make your current interventions doubly effective.   Add tricks to your toolbox that will make therapy more productive & fun, while acquiring skills to teach kids tools to resist emotional reactivity and grow their self-regulation abilities for improved overall functioning.

Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Innovative Business Model:
   • Embrace the reality of a genuine business! Our approach involves forming a group buy, where we collectively share the costs among members. Using these funds, we purchase sought-after courses from sale pages and make them accessible to individuals facing financial constraints. Despite potential reservations from the authors, our customers appreciate the affordability and accessibility we provide.
2. The Legal Landscape: Yes and No:
   • The legality of our operations falls into a gray area. While we lack explicit approval from the course authors for resale, there’s a technicality at play. When procuring the course, the author didn’t specify any restrictions on resale. This legal nuance presents both an opportunity for us and a boon for those seeking budget-friendly access.
3. Quality Assurance: Unveiling the Real Deal:
   • Delving into the heart of the matter – quality. Acquiring the course directly from the sale page ensures that all documents and materials are identical to those obtained through conventional means. However, our differentiator lies in going beyond personal study; we take an extra step by reselling. It’s important to note that we are not the official course providers, meaning certain premium services aren’t included in our package:
     • No coaching calls or scheduled sessions with the author.
     • No access to the author’s private Facebook group or web portal.
     • No entry to the author’s exclusive membership forum.
     • No direct email support from the author or their team.

   We operate independently, aiming to bridge the affordability gap without the additional services offered by official course channels. Your understanding of our unique approach is greatly appreciated.

Refund is acceptable:

• Firstly, item is not as explained
• Secondly, Item do not work the way it should.
