Neurodiversity Family Network

Dr. Ross Greene Presents at Beachwood High School

Join us for an evening with Dr. Ross Greene, child psychologist and New York Times best-selling author of “The Explosive Child,” “Lost at School,” and more!

Dr. Greene will discuss his evidence-based model for understanding and addressing children’s challenging behaviors – the Collaborative and Proactive Solutions (CPS) model. While many approaches focus on coercing compliant behavior via rewards and punishments, Dr. Greene’s CPS model suggests that challenging behaviors are symptoms of underlying problems that require attention. The model provides a structure for collaboration between adults–including parents, teachers, caregivers and the child–to identify and resolve those underlying causes.

In families, schools, psychiatry units, and juvenile detention facilities, the CPS model has a track record of dramatically improving behavior and dramatically reducing or eliminating discipline referrals, detentions, suspensions, restraints, and seclusions. The CPS model is non-punitive, non-exclusionary, trauma-informed, transdiagnostic, and transcultural.

To connect, support, and work towards full inclusion of families with students who are neurodivergent, disabled, and/or require adaptive education in Beachwood City School District through social events, community building, awareness campaigns, and educational programming.

This network is open to ALL Beachwood Schools families. We welcome participation from any members of our community who wish to be educated on and contribute to matters concerning neurodiversity, disability, and adaptive education in our district. The participation and cooperation of families of students who are neurotypical, non-disabled, and do not require adaptive education is necessary and essential in order to achieve full inclusion.
