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.

"PCM has given the ADT (adult day training) staff a better understanding of the use of prevention strategies. As an instructor, I focus on the verbal strategies with staff. The number of hands on interventions in ADT has decreased due to the use of PCM non-physical strategies." Dierdra Walker Program Director | ||

"We are an independently owned facility that provides behavioral programming for adults and children with challenging behaviors. When we started the program 4 years ago we looked for a method of data collection that would be cost effective, would give us options in the data presentation, and would decrease the amount of time we had to spend in data analysis or data entry. Several systems did not meet our three points of criterion; cost effective, user friendly and allow us different options in the data presentation. When we reviewed the CARES system, it fulfilled all three requirements. Since we have started using the system we have been extremely pleased with the service and the program. Whenever we have issues or questions they have been readily available and have always returned our calls within 24 hours. They have made adjustments to the program based on our feedback and we have yet to present them with a request that they could not accommodate or present us with a viable alternative. Based on the level of service and competence we would strongly recommend PCMA software solutions to any behavioral facility." Richard J Thomson MA, BCBA |
