What Parents & Caregivers Say

"Collaborative Problem Solving has been a life-changer for us. It made me cry to see that someone recognized my child was not just bad.”
Jessica Hannon, Parent
"Our family is so grateful for your research, your work, and for you and your colleagues for creating a platform to speak for our children. We felt so alone, lost and so small trying to advocate for our son. I am even moved to tears writing this because the impact of it all is overwhelming and incredible. It is such a priceless gift. Thank you again, with immense gratitude."
Parent of 8-year old boy
"The training has significantly improved my relationship with both my daughter and my wife. We now have a common, caring, effective parenting approach, which is improving lagging skills and behaviors. Much appreciated! Thank you!"
