Why This Works When Behavior Charts Don't:
Traditional approaches focus on controlling behavior through consequences. The ACT Matrix teaches genuine self-regulation by helping students:

- Manage uncomfortable feelings
- Make better choices independently
This means less stress for you and more lasting change for students.
