Beyond Time-Outs™ was founded to address a critical gap in behavior support. Too often, educators and caregivers are given training without the alignment, context, or ongoing support needed to apply it effectively.

We believe behavior is communication, and sustainable change happens when adults are aligned, supported, and working together around the child.
