LSCI is being successfully used by teachers, counselors, alternative and special educators, mental health and juvenile justice staff, residential child care professionals, administrators, and others who deal directly with youth in conflict in family, school and community. LSCI blends psycho-dynamic, cognitive, behavioral and pro-social methods to develop powerful teaching and treatment interventions for our most challenging youth.

Restoring Respect: RAP Training 

June 30 - July 2, 2010

Rushmore Plaza Holiday Inn,  Rapid City, South Dakota

"To meet life's challenges, all children need adults and peers who respond to their needs rather than react to problem behavior." --Dr. Larry Brendtro, co-author RAP training

RAP offers “essential training” for dealing with challenging children and youth.

Response Ability Pathways – or simply RAP – provides essential strength-based strategies for all who deal with young persons in family, school, or community. Children and youth need supportive persons who respond to their needs rather than react to their problems. RAP provides these response-abilities which enable one to guide young persons on pathways to responsibility.
