The IMPACT Model
lnvo's Integrated Multidisciplinary Program to Address Childhood Trauma (IMPACT) is the only treatment framework of its kind. It addresses the emotional and behavioral challenges of students by integrating an understanding of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) into a team approach to clinical mental health treatment. Central to the IMPACT program are skilled mental health and behavioral professionals who:
- Engage students in therapeutic sessions, driven by individually tailored treatment plans, which give students effective coping skills and insight into their emotions.
- Collaborate closely with parents, teachers, and school staff to ensure a cohesive, aligned and committed support network.
- Provide ongoing training for educators and caregivers to build their capacity to reinforce positive behaviors, implement therapeutic strategies across different settings, and ultimately foster generalization of skills for students in the natural environment.

Key Differentiators of the IMPACT Program
Integrated Approach
A multidisciplinary approach of clinical mental health treatment that addresses ACEs
ensures comprehensive and personalized support for students' emotional, behavioral and academic needs.
Real-Time Data-Driven Treatment
Our proprietary data platform, Insight, provides real-time data to assess
needs, devise and adapt treatment plans, and monitor and report results.
Independently Proven Effectiveness
Students show significant improvements and outcomes, which are
independently validated by The Center for Behavior Analysis at Clemson University.
Culture and Engagement Impact
Classroom culture improves through reduction in aggressive behaviors and
disruptions, with improvements in classroom functioning and attention.
Upskilling Staff and Families
Our classroom observations, professional learning sessions, and consultations
equip educators, clinicians and staff with essential skills to effectively support students. We include families in
treatment and training to provide practical tools, skills, and interventions for the home setting.
Building Capacity
A unique model that once designed and implemented, district capacity is built to expand
and fully run the program with customized supports.
Mitigating ACEs through Mental and Behavioral Science
As the foremost leader in school-based behavior and therapy services, Invo delivers unparalleled support to our district partners.
IMPACT is a revolutionary program that highlights the critical importance of understanding Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) at the student level. We recognize that high ACE scores can significantly increase the risk of maladaptive behaviors, placing students at greater risk in the classroom.
Across the country, we support students with significant trauma scores who often struggle academically and are identified as Tier 2 or Tier 3 students. Our program equips these students with effective treatment strategies that can be seamlessly integrated into their classroom experiences, fostering both academic and behavioral success. Through our Integrated Multidisciplinary Program, we empower students to overcome challenges and achieve remarkable outcomes.
What are Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 interventions in education?
Tier 1: Universal or core instruction
Tier 2: Targeted or strategic instruction/intervention
Tier 3: Intensive instruction/intervention
Measurable Outcomes for Students
We take great pride in driving meaningful progress through quality practice services for youth with mental health and substance abuse issues. 65% of the students in the program have experienced trauma, such as but not limited to:
- Emotional abuse
- Substance abuse in the home
- Domestic violence
- Physical and/or sexual abuse
