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 strategies have made a huge impact on reducing the number of actual physical restraints in our facility. The continuum of least restrictive to most restrictive has been very effective in de-escalating our students prior to crisis." Erin Stabnow Education Coordinator | ||

"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 |
