How The Self & Match System Is Used In The Home

The Self & Match System in the home helps parents create and implement clear behavioral expectations and gives them a roadmap of how to teach their children these expectations and hold them accountable for their behaviors. The individual Self & Match program is designed to be collaborative, allowing both in-home provider and schools to work together to design a program suited to the specific needs of the child. Best of all, the Self & Match System is user-friendly and easy-to-implement.

What Parents Are Saying

I am a behavior specialist with a public school system. I also use this system with my own young children, especially for school breaks and summer time. It is so easy to use and really emphasizes self-awareness, along with positive behavior. I highly recommend this program for any and all who want to increase and reinforce positive behaviors!

Amy G

Parent

I can't thank Jamie and Katie enough for creating this valuable tool. As an experienced school psychologist, I can unequivocally say that Self & Match is my go-to tool for general education or special education teachers struggling with problem behavior students. I have been using Self & Match since the beginning and no other tool comes close in effectiveness in my opinion. Teaching self-reflection and ownership of behaviors to students with maladaptive behaviors is very difficult. What Self & Match excels in: goal oriented, self-monitoring, reinforcing positive behaviors, 1:1 attention, self-reflection, and accountability. Even though I tweaked the Self & Match charts to match my liking over the years, the essential elements remain the same. I have used Self & Match with various populations and grades ranging from K-8. It has proven to be effective in all environments: general education, special ed classrooms, and social-emotional programs. I have even recommended the system to my cohort in my doctorate program. If you have a dedicated teacher who is willing try and stay consistent in implementation then this is the tool for you.

Eun P

School Psychologist

As a general education teacher, I work with a wide variety of students with varying social, emotional, behavioral, and academic needs. In my classroom I have used, and met great success, with The Self & Match System. This self-monitoring system gives students the ability to be aware of their behaviors and gives them a sense of ownership over their behavior. In my 10 years of teaching I have used many different behavior monitoring tools, The Self & Match System, in my opinion is one of the best! Students know what their daily goals are, the system is easy for parents and students to understand, and it can be implemented as a whole class behavior system or on an individual basis. I would recommend the Self & Match System to all educators. I truly believe that this system can positively affect the dynamic of any classroom!
