We have also interviewed more than 40 struggling readers ranging from 4 to 30 years of age.

[Resources] Centre for Collaborative Problem Solving (Dr. Ross Greene)
The Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) approach was first described in Dr. Greene’s book, The Explosive Child. The model sets forth two major tenets: first, that social, emotional, and behavioral challenges in kids are best understood as the byproduct of lagging cognitive skills (rather than, for example, as attention-seeking, manipulative, limit-testing, or a sign of poor motivation); and second, that these challenges are best addressed by resolving the problems that are setting the stage for challenging behavior in a collaborative manner (rather than through reward and punishment programs and intensive imposition of adult will).
