Self & Match System Manual

The Self & Match System Manual serves as a compass for navigating the collaborative setup process of the Self & Match System. It includes practical tips for seamlessly integrating the system across diverse user environments. But it’s much more than an instruction manual. The manual also explains the theory behind self-monitoring and describes how the system works to teach self-monitoring to achieve behavioral improvement. The Self & Match System Manual helps you develop a successful behavior intervention program to meet individual needs. We provide the tools to help individuals monitor and reflect on their own behavior so that they are more independent, self-determined, and improve their quality of life!

Collaborative Approach

The Self & Match System Manual provides components to develop a self-monitoring and motivational system that is firmly grounded in principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). The Self & Match System fosters a collaborative approach that promotes systematic behavioral success for students and other individuals. We provide Considerations Guides, roadmaps for setting up and revising individualized forms which are the foundation of the Self & Match System. We encourage collaboration with other educators or staff members as you create the forms.

Proactive Planning

The various components of the Self & Match System support proactive planning throughout the entire behavioral intervention program. The Self & Match System works on an iterative basis; allowing intervention to evolve and advance as progress is made. Our “Considerations Prior to Implementation Guide” serves as a roadmap by providing practical planning instructions for creating individualized forms that are the foundation of the system. Once the Self & Match System is in place, our “Considerations During Implementation Guide” provides tips for enhancing and improving forms that are already in place.
