A must if you work with intense students - FIVE STARSThis is a program that delivers. It is a great way to provide instruction, monitoring and goal tracking for students on IEP's. It helps any student with behavioral issues at home, in the community, or in the classroom. My only disappointment was that the forms on the CD are not customizable. You can print them and fill them out by hand or recreate the form from scratch.-Amazon Verified Purchase "The five-point scale is something that should be used in every elementary classroom especially if that class includes special needs children. It gives everyone a visual way to judge their behavior." -Amazon Verified Purchase "Dunn Buron and Curtis'' The Incredible 5-Point Scale is an excellent tool to weave into a social regulation curriculum. This new, revised, very practical book, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy, expands on the core idea of the original scale by providing current clinical examples of how to use the scale across different age groups and functioning levels ... This is a must-have for any parent or professional working with someone who is learning to control his or her own behaviors." -Michelle Garcia Winner, MA-CCC, speech-language pathologist, founder of Social Thinking, San Jose, California
