In 1977 he and several colleagues founded PSI, then known as Prevention: Systems Intervention. This predecessor to RTI and systems wide programming became PSI’s entree into schools in the early days. PSI’s Service parameters varied from standard related service models to programmatic and professional development. Starting with just a few schools in the late ’70s we now serve over 500 in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana with a very wide range of services and service models.
