Frequently asked questions

  • How is CPRT different from any other parenting curriculum?

    • CPRT stands out for its practical, incremental approach. Parents are introduced to one skill per week and encouraged to apply it during brief, focused play sessions, allowing for sustained learning and integration.
    • It emphasizes the therapeutic power of play, which aligns with how children naturally process their world.
    • Critically, CPRT has been designated as an Evidence-Based Treatment by SAMHSA, distinguishing it from many other parenting curricula.

  • What is expected from the parent:

    Imagine a parenting course that doesn’t overwhelm you or ask you to change everything at once. With CPRT, you’ll build a stronger bond with your child using 30-minute play sessions each week. These moments become powerful tools to understand your child’s inner world. Plus, CPRT is backed by research and it's recognized by SAMHSA as an Evidence-Based Treatment.

  • Will my insurance cover the cost of CPRT?

    No, insurance is not billed for group classes. We’ll happily provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.
