The Collaborative Problem-Solving Approach:
Understanding Helping Kids with Social, Emotional
and Behavioral Challenges
Friday, May 31, 2013
(Registration Deadline: Wednesday, May 22, 2013)
P RESENTER
Ross W. Greene, Ph.D., is the is the originator of the Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) and author of
The Explosive Child and Lost at School. He is Associate Clinical Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at
Harvard Medical School, on the professional staff at Cambridge Health Alliance, adjunct Associate Professor in the
Department of Psychology at Virginia Tech, and Senior Lecturer in the school psychology program in the Department
of Education at Tufts University. Dr. Green is the founder of the non-profit Lives in the Balance which disseminates
the Collaborative Problem Solving model through no-cost web-based programming and provides support to and
advocacy on behalf of caregivers of behaviorally challenged kids. He is also a researcher, consultant and national
and international lecturer.
O VERVIEW
Dr. Greene’s CPS Approach was first described in his book, The Explosive Child, and more recently in his book,
Lost at School. Based on neuroscience research over the past 30-40 years, the empirically-supported CPS Model
posits that challenging behavior is the result of lagging cognitive skills, especially in the domains of flexibility / adaptability, frustration tolerance, and problem solving. CPS helps adults and kids collaboratively solve the problems precipitating challenging behavior, while simultaneously teaching lagging skills. The model has been found to be highly
effective in an array of settings, including families, general and special education schools, and in residential, inpatient
and juvenile detention settings.
O BJECTIVES
At the conclusion of the workshop, you will be able to:
• Describe how different explanations and
interpretations of challenging child behavior can
lead to dramatically different approaches and
why conventional reward/punishment procedures
ore often ineffective.
• Identify and assess various cognitive skills
central to adaptation to life’s challenges
• Identify and prioritize unsolved problems
precipitating challenging behavior
• Utilize three basic mechanisms by which adults
handle unsolved problems & unmet expectations
• Explain how to effectively implement Plan B to
solve problems, teach skills, & reduce the
frequency/intensity of challenging behavior
