Choose us to transform your special education classroom. With our passion for special education and innovative solutions, together, we can create systemic change. Embrace The CMS Approach™.
ABA Classroom Management Systems’ mission is to move Special Education practice forward by creating and disseminating a cohesive approach for teaching novel skills to students while reducing problematic behaviors.
Our system is based on the most recent research on the subject of ABA within the classroom and Autism Spectrum Disorder and related disabilities; as it applies to the classroom environment, education, and future quality of life for all Special Education students.
At the heart of The CMS Approach™ lies our commitment to supporting teachers. We understand that every classroom is unique and requires an individualized approach. As part of our strategy, we optimize the learning environment and enhance teachers’ abilities to deliver effective behavior management strategies.
Our comprehensive method includes:
At CMS, we provide teachers with effective strategies and tools to help students with Autism achieve meaningful learning outcomes. Our approach focuses on developing independence, flexibility, and self-advocacy in students, working toward educational, functional language and social goals.
The CMS Approach™ guides students to achieve goals related to executive functioning, self-regulation, and functional communication. Empowering them for more inclusionary opportunities in the General Education setting, and replacing maladaptive behaviors with positive growth.
Utilizing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), we provide a systematic process that includes needs assessment, classroom system development, professional workshops, immersive training, and fidelity monitoring. We aim to ensure quality education accessibility for all students.
Our approach is founded on empirical research and focuses on differentiating instruction, prompting, and environmental factors to facilitate the essential skills acquisition needs of all Special Education students.
The goal of our comprehensive method is to shape a positive and productive learning environment for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and related disabilities. Our methodology supports skill development, promotes independence, and fosters student growth.
The mission of The CMS Approach™ is to move Special Education forward through our approach, which focuses on helping students acquire highly valuable skills in the modern world. This includes critical thinking, creativity, digital literacy, and emotional intelligence, which are not part of the traditional education agenda. Our approach also focuses on decreasing the presentation of problematic student behavior.
This goal is achieved by using the guiding principles of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) and considering the unique abilities of students with ASD and related disabilities to create a more inclusive classroom environment that improves the quality of life for students.
Structured classroom design and implementation is an essential strategy, particularly in teaching students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
It involves organizing the physical environment of a classroom in a way that promotes independent functioning and minimizes distractions. This includes clearly defining areas for specific activities, using visual supports to guide behavior, and ensuring that materials are easily accessible. Implementation refers to the application of these strategies in a consistent and systematic manner.
This structured approach enhances predictability, reduces anxiety, improves engagement, and facilitates learning by breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science-backed method used for understanding and modifying behavior. It uses evidence-based techniques to analyze behavior, pinpoint root causes, and devise interventions that encourage positive behavior change.
The CMS Approach™ is utilized in various settings to improve communication, reduce challenging behaviors, promote social skills, and more. It is tailored to the individual and emphasizes positive reinforcement, task simplification, and clarity in instructions.
Predominantly used in educational settings, it supports individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental disabilities.
This process ensures that the program is custom tailored to meet the specific needs of each district, classroom, and student. The clear definition of learning outcomes further allows tracking of progress and success, ensuring the program's effectiveness. Furthermore, at CMS, we provide ongoing support and tools to educators, optimizing the learning environment and enhancing their ability to deliver effective behavior management strategies.
The CMS Approach™ is unique in its comprehensive, tailored, and innovative application of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles in special education classrooms. Its uniqueness lies in its structured process, starting from a needs assessment to systematic classroom development, immersive training, and ongoing monitoring.
The approach is specifically designed to cater to the unique needs of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder and related disabilities, aiming to foster their independent learning, self-advocacy, and positive behavioral growth.
The CMS Approach™ also empowers educators by providing them with effective strategies and tools, thereby creating a conducive learning environment that supports student growth and inclusion.
We offer 18 hours of professional development with classroom set-up. This training equips educators with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively implement behavior management strategies and utilize the customized systems developed for their classrooms.
We ensure that the program is implemented with fidelity through a systematic process that includes a needs assessment, specific system development for each classroom, professional workshops, immersive training, and fidelity monitoring.
Our strategies and tools are designed for teachers to help students with autism and related disorders achieve educational, functional, language, and social goals.
This method allows students to engage in activities meaningfully. This method also helps students increase their flexibility, independence, and self-advocacy.
The CMS Approach™ focuses on:
Executive functioning deficits can dramatically affect the ability of those with autism and other related disabilities to perform tasks independently. As a result, they often rely heavily on the support of teachers and caregivers to complete daily tasks.
Excessive dependence on adult prompting can create a barrier to independence for those with autism and related disabilities. However, with our evidence-based practices outlined in The CMS Approach™, individuals with ASD and related disabilities can learn to function independently in various educational settings.
Our approach fosters positive relationships among students by creating a positive and productive learning environment.
One way we achieve this goal is through cooperative peer interaction areas. These intentionally created areas are designed to allow educators to provide a clear and defined space to discreetly teach social communication and self-regulation skills through prompting and repetition.
The CMS Approach™ also provides guidance to students so they can reach goals related to executive functioning, self-regulation, and functional communication. It helps them replace maladaptive behaviors that don’t foster a positive relationship among students.
Our approach helps optimize the opportunity for more inclusive opportunities in the general education settings by catering to the unique needs of students with ASD and other related disorders, which include:
All of this contributes to more positive relationships among students.
We support teachers in delivering effective behavior management strategies through professional development and ongoing support. We provide teachers with the necessary tools, strategies, and resources to effectively manage behavior in the classroom and create an optimal learning environment for students.
We also consider that many maladaptive student behaviors result from skill deficits in functional communication, auditory processing, and social skills. We support teachers with strategies adapted from Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which can be used to help with behavior management in the classroom.
Our approach effectively supports students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and related disabilities because it is rooted in research. We focus on differentiating instruction, prompting, and environmental factors to help all Special Education students gain the essential skills they need to succeed in school and life.
Our approach is effective because it is based on Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) principles and the unique learning abilities of students diagnosed with ASD and related disabilities.
We provide educators with targeted strategies and tools to help students achieve meaningful learning outcomes.
