Frequently asked questions
How is CPRT different from any other parenting curriculum?
- You are not expected to go home and change everything you do. You will learn one new skill each week, which you will get to practice in your 30-minute playtime with your child. CPRT is less overwhelming than other models can be, which helps you retain the information more easily.
- You will learn how to use play to connect because it is the most natural way children communicate- children use toys to explore their experiences and express what they think and how they feel.
- Unlike other parenting guides, CPRT has been identified as an Evidence Based Treatment by SAMHSA.
What is expected from the parent:
- 10 week commitment-Only about 2 months to a completely transformed relationship. Payment is expected even if a session is not attended. A recorded video will be sent to you.
- 30-minute weekly play sessions in the home- You get to have FUN with your child.
- Completing homework assignments- Helpful skill based practice to apply in real life parenting.
- Obtaining materials and toys- You probably already have most of them.
- Video-recording of home play sessions- So that we can give you immediate feedback and encouragement
Will my insurance cover the cost of CPRT?
For the group class insurance will not be billed. For individual sessions we can provide you with a super bill for you to submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.
