Task-Based Grounding Program

Three 50 minutes sessions with an interventionist that includes 6 non-punitive components of treatment common in Behavioral Parent Trainings: Education on behavior change, positive one-on-one time between parents and their children, differential attending to positive and negative behaviors, effective praise, giving effective instructions, and using a point and reward system to encourage prosocial behaviors. These components are distilled into 5 skill modules and paired with Task-Based Grounding, which involves a brief restriction of privileges and provides children with the opportunity to end the restriction by completing a prosocial task.

Two sessions with a facilitator. The facilitator does NOT provide any guidance to the parent on managing their child's behavior, but provides empathy and problem solving to help them find a resource that best fits their needs. It is particularly geared towards helping parents connect with Behavioral Parent Trainings to address the needs of children with oppositional, defiant, or aggressive behaviors.
