How do I know it works?

Great question.

KidConnect was developed in an actual classroom by an Educational Psychologist and a Special Education Teacher for their students.

After a quick set up, the first activity is to create student baselines. In a few weeks, you will be able to use KidConnect Classroom reports to show a clear before and after graph of your students' behavior in your classroom.

Based on a Cognitive Behavioral Theory, KidConnect teaches students to pair behavior with emotion. Used in the moment, students are able to independently self-reflect and learn replacement behaviors to use in the future.  Research shows that the brain is adaptable. That process, called neuroplasticity, is the brain's way of reorganizing or changing itself.

KidConnect is based on the premise that if you learn to identify your emotions, connect them to your behavior, and then pair a new strategy or replacement behavior, lasting behavior change will occur. 

The best way you can see if it works is to try it for FREE.
