All the resources you need to implement the CPS Model are here.
CPS MATERIALS/PAPERWORK
Here’s all the paperwork — the resources and instruments — and research related to the CPS model.
Assessment of Skills and Unsolved Problems (ASUP 2024)
The recently revised is Assessment of Skills and Unsolved Problems (ASUP 2024) used to identify the skills that may be making it difficult for a kid to respond adaptively to problems and frustrations or meet certain expectations, and the unsolved problems that need to be solved. It’s printable/editable/fillable, or you can access it as a Google Doc (directions for making a copy can be found here).
ASUP GUIDE
The ASUP Guide provides helpful guidelines for completing the ASUP 2024.
DRILLING CHEAT SHEET
The Drilling Cheat Sheet provides an overview of the drilling strategies that can be used to gather information in the Empathy step of Plan B.
PLAN B CHEAT SHEET
The Plan B Cheat Sheet provides a graphic overview of the key components you’ll want to keep in mind when you’re doing Plan B.
PROBLEM SOLVING PLAN
The Problem Solving Plan helps you keep track of the high-priority unsolved problems you’re currently working on and the progress you’re making in solving them, and it’s printable/editable/fillable too.
PROBLEM SOLVING REFERRAL FORM
The Problem Solving Referral Form was created to help schools shift from discipline referrals to referrals that prompt scheduling time for Plan B. You can tailor it to the needs of your school.
MEETING CHECKLISTS
This is where to find the Plan-B-Checklist and ALSUP Meeting Checklist…so you can self-assess how you did.
PLAN B TRAINING SKILLS INFOGRAPHIC
Want to know what skills are being built by Plan B? Check out this graphic (with thanks to certified provider Linda Oberg for creating).
FIVE FINGERS METHOD
If you’re trying to solve a problem with a child or adolescent who’s having difficulty providing you with information in the Empathy step, you may find that five fingers can help you get the information you’re seeking (with thanks to certified provider Jodell Allinger for creating).
CPS-INFLUENCED IEP & FBA SAMPLES
You can find a CPS-flavored sample IEP for the US here, and one for Canada here. And here’s our original CPS-flavored Functional Behavior Assessment, along with a new hybrid FBA (created in collaboration with Abigail Wallman, Ph.D., school psychologist in the Farmington [CT] Public Schools).
CPS MODEL ONE-PAGER
And here’s a one-page description of the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions approach.
RESEARCH
The Collaborative & Proactive Solutions* model is recognized as an empirically-supported, evidence-based treatment by the California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse for Child Welfare (CEBC). The research base supporting the effectiveness of the CPS model continues to grow, and this page is updated continuously. Learn more.
