BehaviorTools™ Philosophy
PCMA believes that people have the best behavior and quality of life when those around them understand their behavior and interact with them in non-coercive ways.
People have fewer problem behaviors and ultimately need fewer physical crisis management interventions when staff and caregivers are skillful in managing behavior and interacting non-coercively.
PCMA’s BehaviorTools™ curriculum supports PCMA’s philosophy, mission and values by setting the highest training and certification standards in the field and employing the most sound, scientifically based and time proven strategies to help people achieve the best possible quality of life.

"The Guiding Principles really explain it all (Respect, Dignity, Choice, Least Restrictive Alternative, and Feedback). I truly promote them when teaching to other participants. It has helped me to show people positive ways to intervene and deal with crisis behaviors. Staff's feedback from the experience of using Professional Crisis Management is that it is valuable and positive." Melody Ferguson Staff Development Coordinator | ||

"Since adopting PCM we have seen a steady decline in the number of times per month that we have to physically control any of our residents... Our reisdents are learning to regain self control quicker... The use of PCM has resulted in fewer staff injuries and fewer resident to resident injuries. There have been no injuries to residents as a result of PCM procedures... If you want positive and rapid results, this is where to go for help." Brian H. Jacobson Senior Behavior Analyst/Ph.D., BCBA |
