Mona Delahooke’s book, Beyond Behaviors, will equip educators to understand what’s happening inside the minds of the most challenging and struggling students in their classrooms. Delahooke’s approach is rooted in the belief that teachers must step back and look at behavioral challenges through a lens of compassion and understanding first. Based on the foundational idea that struggling behaviors result from students’ body systems’ neurobiological response to their surroundings, she offers practical solutions to meet these students’ needs. Delahookes provides methods for steering and maintaining them on a “green pathway” and helping students stay centered both in and out of school.

Her advice will fundamentally change how teachers, parents, and students view these behaviors resulting in compassionate changes aimed at directing these behaviors.

Mona Delahooke, Ph.D., is a clinical psychologist who has worked with children and families for over thirty years. Her book, Beyond Behaviors, received the 2020 Benjamin Franklin Book Award for Psychology.
