Red Green Behavior Therapy®

RGBT’s utilization enables parents, teachers, and caretakers to effectively alleviate their children’s and students’ social and behavioral challenges using powerful, yet simple, techniques. RGBT has been developed and proliferated through a range of online workshops specifically designed for professionals as well as for parents, in-person mentoring for parents and teachers, and individualized sessions with children.

"RGBT has shown me how to be more proactive before the red behavior happens. I learned how best to deal with my student’s frustration. I will be implementing the preventive, proactive and corrective strategies into my sessions as needed. I will also be teaching or encouraging sharing by teaching perspective-taking skills."

"Dr. Samet's course was incredible!! I loved how she gave practical advice on how to apply the red green behavior method to specific situations, and gave concrete examples to explain and instruct how to implement the strategies in real life."

"The RGBT technique is amazing! I learned how to target complex social skills in a simple and straightforward way. I really liked how all behaviors can be taught in a simple red and green format. RGBT will change the way I can work with my students with behavioral issues."

"Dr. Samet's course was very helpful. I learned some new strategies for how to deal with conflict in the classroom and how to teach children to handle their feelings appropriately. This course was effective in getting me to think about behavior differently."

"Dr. Samet gave me a new perspective on behavior modification. I've learned a handful of great resources and strategies to help teach children of all different types and ages. Also, I have always known about social stories but now see how they can be used."

"I learned new strategies to use as a SEIT in the classroom. RGBT is a great program for preschool and younger elementary-age students. I also learned how to use the Red Green behavior modification system for a child who may have developmental delays and difficulties learning other colors.”

"Dr. Samet's workshop was very educational and informative. I felt prepared to use the new skills on my students right away! The RGBT workshop was also effective in getting me to think about behavior differently. Thank you!!"

"Dr. Samet provided a wealth of information that is relevant to everyday struggles between students and teachers. She showed us a clear way how to elicit and maintain positive behavior in children."

"This course was great. I've heard Devora Samet before and I think her RGBT approach and techniques are doable, practical, pleasant, and they really work!!!!! Thank you!"

"Dr. Samet's methods are extremely practical and doable with students. I found the concepts of red vs. green behavior, writing social stories, teaching the concepts of public vs. private property, and teaching about different tones of voice to be very practical.”

“This social skills course was motivating and practical. I used the RGBT program with one of my students who was having behavioral and social issues with amazing success. I am looking forward to using the information from Part 2 as well.”

“The course was exciting and valuable to my work. Also, I wanted to mention the trainer, Dr. Samet. She is a very creative and fantastic teacher. The workshops were very well organized and included participation. Her ideas are compelling, and I will use them in my practice."

"Wow! Dr. Samet's course was really informative. It organized behavior management for me in such a clear, practical way. I learned that RGBT can be done for various ages, and not only with young kids, as long as the techniques chosen are appropriate and given over properly."
