Advocacy Solutions
HBCC is excited to partner with Dr. Diane Lew, an advocate who is Certified in Collaborative Problem Solving® (CPS). Her mission is to ensure that every child is receiving the programming, behavior support, and services in the school setting that they require as viewed through a social-emotional & enrichment lens.
Collaborative Problem Solving® gives students the behavior supports needed to feel safe and connected in their access to learning.
Academic success is not one-size-fits-all. When a student is emotionally regulated their potential is maximized, which translates to better academic successes.
This looks different for every student. Bringing parents & teachers together as allies through collaboration takes knowing the fidelity of the Collaborative Problem Solving® model, so behavior plans can be seen and written through a "skill building" lens, as well as advocacy solutions.
SEAS & HBCC's ability to work collaboratively in the school setting ensures that behaviors are better understood from the latest neuroscience perspectives, for parents, educators & providers which supports your child toward durable solutions that work for everyone.

Facing the Fantasy
Known nationally as “Team Bowman,” Rick and Doris Bowman, both Certified Trainers in Collaborative Problem Solving®, equip educators, caregivers, and human-service professionals with trauma-informed, neuroscience-based tools that transform behavior by addressing the nervous system — where lasting change begins.
Through keynote presentations, professional development trainings, and consulting work, they help schools and organizations move beyond traditional behavior management toward approaches that build safety, connection, and true skill development. Their work emphasizes practical strategies that support both the adults and the children they serve.
Approach
Rick and Doris combine cutting-edge neuroscience with real-world educational experience to help professionals understand behavior through a trauma-informed and nervous-system-aware lens. Their work focuses on shifting from reactive discipline models to approaches that prioritize regulation, connection, and skill building.
Their trainings translate complex brain science into practical strategies that educators, therapists, and caregivers can immediately implement in classrooms, clinics, and homes. Known for their engaging and approachable style, Team Bowman blends research, storytelling, humor, and actionable tools that help participants feel both supported and capable of creating meaningful change.
Supporting Educators, Caregivers & Human-Serving Professionals
Rick and Doris are passionate about supporting those who work daily with individuals experiencing behavioral and emotional challenges. Their audiences include educators, school leaders, therapists, advocates, RBTs, BCBAs, OTs, PTs, SLPs, and other professionals serving children and families.
Participants in their trainings often leave feeling:
- reconnected to their purpose
- equipped with strategies that truly work
- empowered to create classrooms, programs, and systems rooted in safety, connection, and lasting behavior change.
At a time when burnout is high and hope can feel scarce, Team Bowman provides both the science and the encouragement professionals need to move forward with confidence.
Experience You Can Trust
Together, Rick and Doris bring decades of experience across education, psychology, and trauma-informed practice. Their backgrounds include work as a clinical psychologist, PreK–21 special educator, licensed administrators, and certified trauma and resilience practitioners.
In addition to speaking and training nationwide, they are the authors of practical guidebooks designed to help educators and professionals implement neuroscience-informed approaches to behavior and learning. Their work continues to influence classrooms, schools, and organizations seeking sustainable and compassionate solutions to complex behavioral challenges.
