Frameworks

How We Think

For nearly 3 decades, System 1-2-3 has developed frameworks designed to meet the needs of educational and therapeutic organization in practical and innovative ways.

S123 Facilitation

Our flagship framework in which facilitators focus on meeting people where they are, bringing out over bringing in, and facilitating forward. We have advanced S123 facilitation with our 20-year partnership with Pittsburgh Public Schools.

Pyramid Building

Our multi-tiered system of support which focus on adult practices which support social and emotional development and behavior change of children. We are currently providing Pyramid Building in multiple counties through our partnership with ELRC 4.

What it includes:

(4) 1.5 hours of PD workshops
3 Tiers: Relationships, Routine, Response
10 Critical Topics
5-Point Building Blocks and 10-point Checklist for each topic
Multiple tools for building pyramid practices

Villiage Driven Care

We originally developed this innovative approach to working with children and families in conjunction with Meerkat Village. The approach expands the focus of support from children or families and classrooms to the entire village that surrounds a child.

We are currently piloting VDC with our partner, Westmoreland Community Action.

VDC works by:

Recognizing adults that surround children as one entity—a village
Supporting village formation and fluidity
Developing competence where the village needs it
Building confidence where the village needs it
Establishing communication across the village

Integrated Consultation and Facilitation

Our consultation team is led by Jennifer Austad, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is endorsed by The Pennsylvania Association for Infant Mental Health (PA-AIMH) as an Early Childhood Mental Health Specialist (ECMHS) and is a registered provider for Reflective Supervision/Consultation and Janet Gmiter, a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst with a Master’s degree in Special Education and has PA Autism Trainer Certification.

Our partners, Seton Hill Child Services and the Council of American Indian Center utilize our integrated consultations and facilitation model.

The service includes:

on-site observation/visitation at school or home
communication, meeting, and facilitating reflective practice
collaborating with setting participants
recognizing and recommending practices for meeting the needs of the child
providing training and information related to meeting the needs of the child

Working Relationships

A five-part workshop series designed to deep dive into how we work together. The facilitator will take participants through a series of activities that encourage reflection on how we share, how we listen, how we collaborate and how we approach conflicts.

We have advanced our Working Relationships series with awesome partners, Seton Hill Child Services.
