We use the UCLA research-based models (see links on www.spokanebrain.com for details to read more about their development and details). Parent participation is required. While the children or teens are in their groups, the parent(s) attend a concurrent group with a different therapist to understand what their children are learning and how to support their children's newly learned skills at home.
