WE HAVE MANY MORE INTERVENTIONS

If you're a teacher or counselor using yesterday's methods with today's students, you can find that nothing works. Even for younger students, you are competing with hundreds of TV channels, computers, iPods and dozens of other attention-grabbers that might not have even been invented when you were getting trained. Updated resources exist for every age group, and will dramatically improve the results you get.
(Continued below-- click here)

Today's intervention resources are especially designed to work around poor reading skills, disinterest, apathy, and whatever else is making today's students so hard to reach. Working with difficult students doesn't have to be so difficult if you switch to more updated methods. Especially if you are a teacher, your training probably gave you very few practical, hard-hitting methods were designed to work with contemporary youth and children. Our site is packed with samples of these more powerful interventions. The Solution Center has thousands of methods to try, click here. But the resources scattered through the Solution Center won't give you the systematic, comprehensive methods you are going to need with today's students. If you've got little time, but lots of "kid problems," then consider getting thorough help. Our books and ebooks can give the full repertoire of resource techniques that you need solve your worst kid problems. Just $15 each, our All the Best Answers for the Worst Kid Problems (click here) books and ebooks deliver hundreds of strategies to use right away. These solutions are so innovative and so new, you can't get these answers anywhere else. If you are a veteran teacher, counselor or youth professional, you'll find that these practical resource strategies were not included in your training. The series includes these titles: Anti-Social/Conduct Disordered Youth, Maximum-Strength Motivation-Makers, and Forgotten Favorite Strategies. Click here to learn more about these surprisingly effective problem-solvers. Click here to order your solutions now.

PROBLEM-KID PROBLEM-SOLVER TIP

So many younger children don't read well, and many older youth may also lack reading skills too. You may also be seeing more children who are not readily speaking English, or have difficulty processing information. Because of these concerns, relying on verbiage is going to leave you frustrated a lot of the time. You may even feel like talking "goes in one ear and out the other," and you may be right. When you add in the disrespect, rudeness, and distractibility, you may wonder if mere verbiage can even get the job done any more. The sad truth is that talking alone may not be up to the challenge for either younger or older students.
(Continued below-- click here)

So it may be time to give more thought to other modalities. The handouts included in our Breakthrough Strategies to Teach and Counsel to Teach and Counsel Troubled Youth Series provide dozens of handouts that work around poor reading and comprehension skills. These handouts rely heavily on cartoons to communicate, and are also very helpful with children and youth who are not native English speakers. We don't show you too many handouts at our site because they don't reproduce well on the internet, but there are some for you to review. Clicking on the book at right will show you one example.

Consider using our handouts not just with younger students, but with students of any age. They are great with poor readers, and are wonderful ways to reach ELL students. Learn about the series by clicking here. Also, if you want visual interventions, check out our colorful, highly unusual posters. They can pack quite a punch yet sometimes use just a few words.
