Self Monitoring with the Self & Match System

As many as 70% of childhood behavior problems come from a child not being able to adequately express their needs or desires. I’ve worked directly with many pre-verbal children who were unable to learn how to communicate through spoken word for many years.

Here, I share exactly what my process is so you can get similar help if you need it for your family.
