Just exceptional. I read this as a school social worker preparing to become more involved in our school intervention teams, and this is exactly what I needed. The authors provide step-by-step instructions for implementing interventions for a host of behavioral problems. They also suggest different progress monitoring tools for each intervention.

Bloated, not practical, not relevant. Maybe 3 or 4 useful strategies in the whole thing, and all wordy and overblown.

[Briana · Rating 4 out of 5]

A desk volume of good interventions, this is more of a reference than a sit down & absorb every word (although I guess you could...)

This will be a great resource for the future!
