"I have used Project ImPACT for the past 11 years with parents and
always receive positive feedback. Participants often share that
this was the most valuable training they have received. The Manual
for Parents is organized in a systematic way that makes sense to
families. Families can easily incorporate these techniques into
their daily routines, and often see immediate results.”--Brenda
Hancock, MEd, autism specialist, Northwest Regional Education
Service District, Hillsboro, Oregon -This two-book set combines an
excellent guide for coaching parents with a manual for parents. It
is written by experts and is very practical, providing a
step-by-step approach to learning the principles and techniques.
This will be of great benefit to clinicians and parents
alike.--Doody's Review Service, 11/22/2019
