Description
This parent education program helps professionals support teen parents and parents with learning problems, such as intellectual disabilities, learning disabilities, or mental illness. It contains processes and strategies validated over the past 30 years. The program has three components: a program manual, 15 parent booklets, and supplemental resources. The manual includes information on assessing parents' current skills and outlines content to cover in parent education sessions. The parent booklets will be available on our web site or on a CD-ROM for parent educators to print and give to parents for use at home. These illustrated booklets are easy to read. The supplemental resources will also be available on the web site/CD-ROM. They include background information on the program's validation study and a review of research about mothers with cognitive impairments.
