Executive Summary:

The 3-day RAID® course is a leading approach for tackling disturbed and challenging behavior at source: over 20,000 professionals have attended it. It is a comprehensive system which teaches professionals a philosophy and practice not only to deal with disturbed and challenging behavior when it occurs, but also to prevent it by nurturing positive behavior targetted to displace the disturbed and challenging behavior.
