Jamie Salter & Katie Croce
Creating The Self & Match System
Jamie & Katie’s met by happenstance when they were graduate level interns and they quickly became frirends. Their shared passion for empowering individuals with self-monitoring tools led them to create the Self & Match System in 2004. With the Self & Match System, Jamie and Katie realized their goal of developing a behavior intervention program that is flexible enough to be used with children and students of all ages in a variety of environments. The Self & Match System is being used in school districts across the country, as well as by various community organizations. Jamie and Katie continue to spread the word about the Self & Match System through presentations at conventions and school districts throughout the United States and other countries. Additionally, they have been guest lecturers at a variety of other organizations including universities, nonpublic schools, nonpublic agencies, and parent groups.
