Ramapo for Children is a nationally recognized, not-for-profit organization that serves children with special needs and delivers highly-regarded training programs for people who work with youth. At the heart of Ramapo for Children’s work is the conviction that all children seek the same things — to learn, feel valued, and experience success. Ramapo training empowers teachers, parents, and other youth-service professionals by equipping them with the practical tools they need to reduce difficult activity, foster positive behaviors and promote success.
Ramapo for Children employs a training staff of veteran teachers, principals and youth-service experts to conduct workshops and deliver on-site consultations. Teachers and community educators learn to exercise positive leadership, build caring environments, establish routines, coach social and emotional skills development and effectively intervene to de-escalate disturbing behavior. Ramapo includes a follow-up component so that they can monitor the effective use of newly incorporated practices.
