Triple P – Positive Parenting Program®
Triple P gives parents simple tips to help manage the big and small problems of family life. If the family determines that ASC is a good fit, the family and Family Support Coordinator will develop a plan for support. The plan will have specific goals and ways to review goals regularly. The Coordinator will assist the family in advocating for funding and for the desired services.
Parents are encouraged to be involved in choosing an Outreach Worker.Together with the family, the Family Support Coordinator will collaborate with schools and other professionals in order to best support the child. This includes advocating for services outside the family’s community. The Family Support Coordinator will also assist parents through the first steps of receiving adult services, before their child turns 18.
