The Reality Theory Approach is a 7-step method for helping students change problematic behaviors. It involves establishing an authentic relationship with the student, having the student evaluate their current behavior, create an achievable action plan with steps to meet their needs and values, commit to the documented plan, revise if needed rather than make excuses, experience the consequences of their actions, and reward successes.
