"The (Palm Beach County) school district annually trains approximately 375 staff in initial PCM procedures and re-certifies approximately 450 staff. In my 16 years as a PCM instructor, which includes 15 years in my current position, no students or staff have been injured implementing PCM procedures. I am very familiar with other restraint procedures; in fact I was a certified trainer in others. I do not think that any other crisis management programs are as safe, effective, or implemented with the individual's dignity in mind. PCM is a complete crisis management system in which the verbal de-escalation is as important as any physical interventions. PCMA staff are always available via telephone and e-mail to answer any of our questions or to provide assistance...It is without hesitation that I would recommend Professional Crisis Management to any school district or institute that has exceptional students with various degrees of dangerous behaviors."

"I have been providing behavioral services to a diverse array of disability groups for the past 25 years. I have been certified since 1989 and board certified since 2003. As a Behavior Analyst, I have a deep appreciation for the principles incorporated throughout PCM that have a teaching versus punitive basis. The focus is on building and maximizing relationships, preserving human dignity, and keeping individuals free from pain using the least restrictive procedures... The pro-active approaches are what sets it apart. There have been numerous times during application in various facilities when I have directly observed the behavior of individuals being shaped into more appropriate repertoires through the use of PCM procedures...Thank you PCMA. You have made a difficult job a whole lot easier." Camille Pedone Senior Behavior Analyst, MA, BCBA |
