“You Had Me at Hello”

Target Audience: Teachers, School Professionals, Behavior Analysts

Remember that famous line from Jerry Macguire - “You had me at hello.”? Isn’t it so true - that just “hello” can facilitate positive feelings towards the person and perhaps the situation? Consider how you feel when you enter a retail store and a sales person walks up to you and says, “Hello. How can I help you?” Doesn’t that make you feel welcomed and aren’t you more likely to ask for help and to ultimately buy something?

Remember the A in ABC

Target Audience: Behavior Analysts

Behavior analysts working in public schools are faced with complex cases that require extensive behaviors plans with multiple interventions. The problem is that these plans can be overwhelming for teachers and staff who do not have the time or resources to do what is being asked of them. Consider that providing praise may be more difficult initially for staff who have been frustrated by noncompliance and other unwanted behaviors.
