Behavior Management
System
The AIM Behavior Management System is a values-driven, flexibility-based approach to supporting positive behavior in children, rooted in the principles of ACT and integrated within the AIM Curriculum. Unlike traditional behavior management systems that focus on external control, token economies, or rule compliance, the AIM approach emphasizes helping children understand their own emotions, clarify their values, and make choices that align with what matters to them—even during moments of difficulty or dysregulation. Core characteristics involve daily identification of values, frequent opportunities for reinforcement and feedback, teaching self-management and self-control, and finding commitment to the social community.
Easy Social-Emotional
Assessment
The AIM Assessment is a structured tool designed to evaluate a child’s development across the six core processes of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Values, Committed Action, Acceptance, Defusion, Present Moment Awareness, and Self-as-Context. Unlike traditional behavior checklists, the AIM Assessment focuses on psychological flexibility—the ability to notice thoughts and feelings, make space for them, and choose actions aligned with personal values. The assessment helps educators and clinicians determine how well a child can understand and demonstrate flexibility in emotional and social situations, and it also allows for progress monitoring as intervention continues.
