Behavior

 

We utilize positive reinforcement and redirection as our primary means of discipline. Our goal is to refrain from the punitive as much as possible. “Thinking Time” is used for severe or repeated misbehavior (hitting, biting). Repeated misbehavior that results in frequent disruption will warrant a parent / child / teacher or therapist / administrator meeting. A behavior plan will be devised and implemented at this meeting. It is important for us all to work together for the well-being of the child. Continuous misbehavior and / or disruption may result in dismissal of the child from Right Steps, LLC special programs. We do not permit toy guns, war toys, or other toys of destruction.

 

Birthdays

 

If your child would like to celebrate their birthday at our facility, please notify the child’s teacher/therapist in advance.
