Block 3 — What to Teach and Which Behaviors to Change

✓ By this point, parents already have a much clearer understanding of how behavior works. The third block is designed to help parents set priorities—what to teach first, which behaviors to address right away, which can wait, and so on. Identifying both the skills a child already has and the “missing” skills is essential for choosing the right direction. At the same time, parents need to learn how to gauge their own capacity and evaluate all available resources. ✓ Homework assignments guide parents in identifying top priorities and assessing resources—such as their time, support from others, available work space, the need to involve additional people, and many other details that will vary for each family. ✓ Instructors support every parent in defining their own individual goals.
