Levels & Behavior Markers

Checkout some of the great behaviors that are included in the program for you to instruct. Each level progresses in complexity. Although exercises may look the same, the difficulty increases as the level increases, and other exercises are absorbed into the intricacies of a new level.

For each exercise at each level there is an assessment marker. Click here to see an example of a Level One Assessment Marker
