BOOK REVIEWS
"This manual does a great job of helping schools analyze student behavior to provide supports and interventions BEFORE violence occurs. A great step-by-step guide that can be used in schools and districts of any size or demographics, and it aligns with the U.S. Secret Service recommendations. This research-based program is a must-have for all schools. Thanks Dewey!"
