A two-day program of in-person observation and intervention at your location, with remote support before/after. Fully vaccinated for influenza, pertussis, measles, COVID. The collaboration begins with a conversation about any aspects of the behaviour that you think might be helpful in decoding the behaviour issues. Then the first day in person is dedicated to observation of what is happening. After proposed interventions and more observation on the second day, the third day features further specific recommendations and refinements to the interventions as needed, with a followup conversation (up to one hour, via phone/zoom or email) after 1 week, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks to assess how the interventions and recommendations are working out and to fine-tune any aspects that still aren't working. Travel expenses, if applicable, depend on location and are not included.
