Helpful Technology
The PAX Tools App is intended for use by parents, caregivers, and other caringadults who wish to implement PAX Tools with the children in their lives.
The PAX Tools App contains features that describe and operationalize nine PAX Tools strategies. For each PAX Tool the app features an overview of the strategy, a video describing the strategy, and a “recipe” or step-by-step procedure to implement the strategy.
Many of the tools can be personalized to suit the needs of the user, including the setting and age of the child(ren). The PAX Tools App is available for free on Apple and Android Devices and can be utilized in both English and Spanish.
PAX Tools in your Community
PAX has applications in any setting where children and adults interact. When the evidence-based PAX Good Behavior Game is implemented in schools, children benefit from improved lifetime outcomes.
PAX Tools extends nurturing environments beyond the classroom, empowering adults throughout the community to improve young people’s behavior and relationships with the use of Evidence-based Kernels. PAX Tools is designed for use at home or in the community by caring adults such as parents, caregivers, and other adults who serve youth in volunteer or professional settings.
Whether a child is learning developmentally appropriate behavior skills at school or home, experiencing school at home, or navigating the system of care, PAX has an appropriate application.
