A Study: A graduate student at the State University of New York at New Paltz conducted a study of Aviva Schwab's STEP workshops in 2003. The results showed highly significant improvements in the variables studied: children's behavior, the quality of the relationship between the adults and their children or students and the effectiveness of the participant's discipline strategies.

The New Jersey Department of Education lists Aviva Schwab as a Professional Development Provider. Educators can receive professional development hours for participating in STEP workshops. Click here for more information:
