In this article review, Catherine Jessel interviews Dr. Kelsey Ruppel, lead author of “An Evaluation of Balance: A Home-Based, Parent-Implemented Program Addressing Emerging Problem Behavior.” They discuss the inspiration behind the article, recommended readings, and Dr. Ruppel’s experiences conducting treatment with caregivers. Catherine also interviews Kara LaCroix, an expert in Balance. Their discussion covers the 10 steps of Balance and their rationale, differences between Balance and Skill-Based Treatment, and how Balance can function as a framework for teaching caregivers to problem-solve new challenges across a child’s life. The central message is that Balance is a comprehensive caregiver-focused curriculum that can decrease and prevent problem behavior by teaching protective skills such as communication, toleration, and cooperation.
