Lost and Found: Helping Behaviorally Challenging Students (and, While You′re At It, All the Others) (J–B Ed: Reach and Teach) - Hardcover

Praise for LOST & FOUND

"Dealing with challenging behaviors? The first goal is to alter your lenses, to understand that challenging behavior is the result of lagging skills. The second is to start solving problems together and teach those skills. Lost and Found is a must read."
?MICHELLE GARCIA WINNER, MA-CCC, speech language pathologist; founder, Social Thinking

"Lost and Found gives readers lots of examples for how Dr. Ross Greene's Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) process works?and how to avoid pitfalls?at every step of the way. The process he describes is the best way to engage kids and adults in mutual problem solving that, at its core, removes blame and replaces it with respect."
?PEG DAWSON, EdD, NCSP, co-author, Smart but Scattered and Smart but Scattered Teens

"For those perplexed by how to positively support students with challenging behavior, Lost and Found is a game changer. Greene brings a fresh perspective on the subject and clearly articulates the essentials to get everyone on the upswing."
?LEAH KUYPERS, MA, occupational therapist; author, The Zones of Regulation: A Curriculum Designed to Foster Self-Regulation and Emotional Control

"Greene's CPS model encourages school staff to look at behaviorally challenging students from a new frame of reference: kids are very capable of providing information about why they're having difficulty meeting certain expectations; they're eager to partner with adults in solving the problems that are affecting their lives; and they're capable of developing new skills. Lost and Found provides the tools to help schools abandon old, toxic ways of responding to challenging behavior."
?DEBRA THIBODEAU, MEd, CAS, school counselor, Georgetown, ME

"Throughout Lost and Found, the voices of educators are a testament to how this simple, research-based process, done with rigor, results in changing beliefs, practices, and school cultures. Ross Greene should be considered a living, international treasure."
?PEGGY BLAIR, superintendent of education, Avon Maitland District School Board, Ontario, Canada
