Collaborative Problem-Solving

Collaborative Problem Solving. Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS) is an approach to understanding and helping children with behavioral challenges originated by Dr.

Ross Greene. The CPS model views behavioral challenges as a form of learning disability or developmental delay -- in other words, behaviorally challenging kids are lacking crucial cognitive skills, especially in the domains of flexibility, frustration tolerance, and problem-solving -- and seeks to create fundamental changes in interactions between kids with behavioral challenges and their adult caregivers by having caregivers engage kids in solving problems collaboratively. A federal judge has ruled that the trademarks for Collaborative Problem Solving and the Collaborative Problem Solving Approach belong to the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).
