About Kenneth Kaufman
For over 39 years, I have worked so hard to create programs that really help families and kids to be happier and maximize their fun and freedom. I developed many of Long Island’s First Effective Behavioral Programs. Here’s the list: · 1968-Participated in a published study which examined the most effective ways for teachers to discipline their students: Loud vs. Soft Reprimands · 1969-Developed the first systematic reward system for teenage psychiatric hospital school · 1970-Developed the first Full Day systematic reward system for psychiatric hospital teens · 1971-Developed the first Behavior Modification Parent Training Groups for parents · 1974-Developed the first Behavior Modification Training Groups for Parents of “autistic kids” that led to the introduction of ABA to DDI and then many schools 1977-Made a presentation at the National Society for Autism Conference in Orlando about my Parenting for children with autism · 1983-Started the Institute for Behavioral Health (IBH) in Commack, NY with the goal of giving Long Island parents access to the world’s finest behavioral programs · 1986-Supported the IBH development of highly effective Social Skills Groups begun by Psychologist Dr. Robert Kifer and Special Educator, Michelle Livingston-Williams. We still have Social Skills Groups run by Licensed Mental Health Professionals for kids of varied ages and gender. Data collected since 1991 shows 90% of kids get along better. · 1992-Supported Dr. Alan Feigelson’s development of an EEG Neurofeedback program for children and adults with Attention and Hyperactivity problems. It helped so many people for 8 years until he retired, approximately 85% of those he worked with for 30 sessions. · 1997-Re-Started my Behavior Modification Groups for Parents of Oppositional Children, called “Parenting the Difficult Child.” It was re-named “Calm Parenting” 10 years ago. Every “graduate” supplies us with Pre-Post Data. Incredible Results! 97% of the kids are less difficult within 3 months. Nearly every parent reduces stress. New Groups Monthly! 2003-Made aCHADD National Presentation in Denver on "How to Do a Perfect Special Playtime." 2004-Started my new program, a Learning Center known as FOCUS through FUN, now located in the IBH. It helps kids and adults improve their focus, concentration, impulse control, executive functioning, working memory, auditory and visual processing. Using the programs PLAY ATTENTION (Neurofeedback) and BRAINTRAIN (Cognitive Training), FOCUS through FUN has produced incredibly positive results for 98.4% of our students. 83% have reduced their attention problems, 82% have reduced their hyperactivity, and 72% have reduced their internalizing problems. Many kids have moved to the Honor Roll in school. · 2005-Started a new program, known as Dr. Kaufman’s Tension/Attention Program after realizing that so many people with Attention problems have their biggest problems when they are nervous, tense or upset. By learning Self-Calming Skills through lessons and practice, it is helpful for many aspects of life since it increases competence and confidence 2008- Made a National CHADD Presentation in Anaheim about all of the Calm Parenting Ingredients
