Abstract
In this article review, Catherine Jessel begins by interviewing Dr. Kelsey Ruppel, the lead author of “An Evaluation of Balance: A Home-Based, Parent-Implemented Program Addressing Emerging Problem Behavior.” They discuss (a) the inspiration and motivation behind the article, (b) further recommended readings, and (c) the experience Dr. Ruppel had while conducting the treatment with caregivers. Catherine then interviews Kara LaCroix, an expert in Balance. They discuss the specifics of (a) the 10 steps of Balance and the rationale for each, (b) the differences between Balance and Skill-Based Treatment, and (c) how Balance can serve as a framework to teach caregivers to problem-solve new challenges that may develop though their child’s life. The take-home message is that Balance is a comprehensive curriculum, designed for caregivers, that can decrease and even prevent problem behavior through the teaching of protective skills such as communication, toleration, and cooperation.
Objective:
The participant will be able to describe the 10 steps of Balance curriculum.
