Moving All to Success & Health (MASH)

Now more than ever, we need to consider how Washington schools support the needs of students with emotion and behavior challenges.

Moving All to Success & Health (MASH) is a support program developed by a collaborative of Educational Service Districts to provide training and coaching to school staff and families who are working with children with intensive behavioral needs.

MASH provides virtual access to wrap-around support services for their school district staff, students, and families.

Each MASH team is led by a team of experts including a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Registered Behavior Technician, Social Worker, and a Special Education Specialist. MASH teams focus on the success of each student in the school setting. Personalized to the needs of each student and the school, the MASH team provides a wide variety of services including parent training, one-on-one student support, behavior plans and assessments, ACT training, PFA/SBT coaching and implementation, staff behavioral training, IEP support, progress monitoring, and on-campus observations and coaching– all driven by behavioral data. The ultimate achievement being the student’s success at home, school, and in their everyday life!

Program Services & Support

Based on intake, the MASH team will recommend a beginning package for each student. The student’s IEP team will ultimately decide which package the student will be enrolled in. Based on progress and implementation fidelity of the team, student placement will be reviewed minimally quarterly with the IEP and MASH teams.

Each phase of the program includes different support services and training for the IEP team, school staff, students and their family. Phases for the 2023-2024 school year include:

• Package 1 (BCBA Lead) – $1,250/week
• Package 1a – Maintenance (BCBA Lead) – $850/week

Access to all of MASH support and services cost $325-$1,250 per week based on Package enrollment. These reduced weekly rates are thanks to OSPI Inclusionary Practices Project Funding! Invoices will be prorated and collected monthly.

What is SBT?

Using the information the MASH team gains during their analysis, they design an individualized Skills Based Treatment (SBT) plan for the student that focuses on their IEP goals. The MASH team provides the synthesized reinforcement identified in the Practical Functional Assessment (PFA) to increase motivation and use this reinforcement model to teach new skills. Through this process, the MASH team teaches the student functional communication and how to tolerate denials and delays, while providing robust social emotional and academic instruction in a rapport-focused, child-driven therapeutic model.

What is ACT?

Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) is a way of learning new habits of responding to our thoughts, emotions, and bodily sensations when those are challenging. In MASH, we use ACT to create healthy habits by helping students (and families) identify what they really care about, choose small, doable goals, and get moving! Our multi-disciplinary MASH team supplements ABA procedures with ACT process to change socially significant over behavior through teaching coping skills, flexibility with language, and flexible rule following through a trauma-informed less to make them successful in their communities.
