Parent Training
"Until you have a kid with special needs, you have no idea of the depth of your strength, tenacity and resourcefulness" – Anonymous
​Parent Training
The family is key in making therapy work, and parents are usually their children's best advocates. However, we understand that raising a child with additional needs is no easy task. At Roots, we offer parent-training programs in English and in Cantonese with the goals of increasing knowledge, skills and confidence.

Triple P (Positive Parenting Program)
​Backed by over 35 years of ongoing research, Triple P from Australia shares a lot of common ground with ABA theories. The Triple P Program is designed to prevent – as well as treat – behavioral and emotional problems in children and teenagers. We also provide the Stepping Stones Triple P for parents of children with a developmental disability. This program gives parents ways to deal with behavioral problems and issues that can make family life stressful. It can also help parents encourage positive behaviors in their children, cope with stress and develop closer relationships with their children. Triple P and Stepping Stones Triple P are conducted in English.
