Abstract

This structured programme is aimed at enabling parents to contribute to their child's education with regard to behaviour management and skills training using a five step plan. The programme, as well as providing a forum for parents to share with each other their experiences and needs, has opened up avenues of communication between service providers and the families of special needs children.
