How these CDs have helped parents and special education teachers:
“This morning, after just two days of practicing these techniques, my ADD daughter WOKE UP, GOT DRESSED, MADE HER BED, MADE BREAKFAST, and BRUSHED HER TEETH. And I did the “Think Through” technique just once. Noel is a freaking genius.”
~ Kristine A., Arcadia
“Our son was highly impulsive and physical, and the outbursts were almost non-stop. With these strategies he is a different child: willing confident, and both his self-esteem and self-control have soared. We credit Noël with saving our son and our family.”
~ Kelly G., Los Angeles
“I was skeptical about these strategies working with my autistic son. But just as Noël says, you don't have to believe this in order for it to work; you just have to try it. I did, and on day three of using descriptive praise to try to reduce an annoying impulsive behavior, it worked. With no prompting from me, my son stopped himself from doing something. Now whenever behavior starts to become a problem, I know that if I just pick one of Noël's strategies and do it, things always improve.”
~ Robyn W., San Fernando Valley
“I have a student who regularly refuses to come to school, and I have been working with the top behavior specialists in our district, as well as examining the function of the behavior using applied behavior analysis techniques and writing reams of reports.
This morning he arrived at school, refusing as usual, and the dad began reasoning and pleading with him, which was in effect giving him a lot of attention for the misbehavior. I stopped him and asked both parents to ignore their son's protests and leave. As they left, he started tantruming and swinging his fists in the air. I started to reflectively listen and descriptively praise him, and he began calming down. As he started going up the stairs toward his class, I said, “Even though you're upset, you're walking by yourself toward your class.” And he JUST KEPT WALKING AND WENT IN THE CLASS and stopped crying. Usually this procedure has taken anywhere from 20 minutes to 1 ½ hours, and today it was over in 2 minutes. The tools in these CDs are simply amazing.”
~ Diana F., Los Angeles
“My kids used to fight a lot and it drove me crazy to listen to. I’d get angry and threaten to punish them by taking away TV time or anything I could think of. This didn’t stop their arguing at all and seemed to make them want to retaliate more. We decided to try Noël’s strategy of sending the skids to a squabbling room. We let them know that if they started fighting near us, they would have to go to this room, where they could sort out their squabbles on their own. It worked absolutely brilliantly. After a few minutes in the squabbling room, they would stop fighting. As Noël said, the primary reason they fight is for our attention, so when we don’t give it attention, they have much less reason to fight.”
~ Melinda R., Denver
