This interview was indeed a pleasure. I am appreciative of the opportunity to have shared the joys and visions of my life long work and passions. The need for parents, educators, family members, friends and neighbors, to more fully understand the interplay of cause and effect experienced by each growing child is ongoing. Forums such as these are of great benefit.
Behavior must be looked at from varied and integrated perspectives. All that a child experiences weaves his/her cloak of response. Each thread, be it genetic, environmental, physical, emotional, cognitive, chemical, energetic, cultural, spiritual, perceptual, contributes to the nature and weave of this fabric of BEING. To understand behavior is to understand the interplay of cause and effect. The APOGEE Learning™ paradigm has and continues to support children, teens and adults across the age span by creatively exploring this interplay of cause and effect to determine a course of action and supports that address each identified need. Programs are tailored to each individual and may include, nutritional guidance, exercise, specific academic supports, study skills, sport activities, music, art, dance, creative writing, and the special talents and/or interests of the student. When one, at any age, understands what may trigger a positive or negative response, one moves toward becoming an empowered self.
...and so the intent and goal of
The APOGEE Achiever™ Program...as presented in this interview.
