The Helping Exchange is based on the following principles...

Early- stresses importance of interacting early by providing help or problem solving and not waiting until a risky situation develops.

All- shows how to use all components with all people in all settings all of the time.

Reinforce- shows how to interact in ways that acknowledge more independent behavior and encourage future use of the behavior.

Look- identifies opportunities to teach and encourages greater participation in the community.

Examples illustrate how to apply the P.E.A.R.L. to clients with behavioral, emotional and cognitive disorders. A score sheet provides a rating scale to observe interactions and rate performance.
