Our providers' primary goal for families is to ensure parents and key stakeholders in a child's life understand the underpinnings of their child's behavior and feel equipped to not only manage challenging behaviors, but to also help children build neurocognitive skills such as planning, problem-solving, distress tolerance, and effective communication through your daily interactions as a parent. As we assist our parents, we are able to strengthen familial bonds and improve the connection you have with your child.

Parent training in Collaborative Problem-Solving (CPS) allows us to work with parents to identify neurocognitive skill deficits that explain many challenging behaviors a child exhibits across different settings and situations. By shifting how we view certain behaviors as directly linked to a skill-deficit rather than a will-deficit, parent-child interactions become less about tolerating and diminishing challenging behavior and more about teaching and molding children to grow and develop.

CPS is evidence-based and teaches parents to partner with children to identify triggers for behaviors and work together as a team to plan strategies for handling problems before they happen. More information about CPS can be found at thinkkids.org
