The continuation and consistency of care from clinic to home accelerates learning for each child and provides caregivers with a clear, organized, and easy-to-follow roadmap for successfully supporting their child during challenging situations and proactively promoting positive skills."

Attend Behavior consists of twelve instructional courses designed to help parents think about behavior like a pro. The series of coaching tools which remind them when and how to respond to their child in a way that encourages positive parent-child interactions and promotes skill development.

• Prevention Strategies Using Reinforcers to Improve Behavior
• Creating Schedule and Routines Strategies that Promote Skill Development

"We are thrilled to partner with BlueSprig pediatrics to amplify the high-quality of care they provide children with autism and their families," said Dr. Stewart Pisecco, founder, and CEO of Attend Behavior. "BlueSprig clinicians and families now have a proven, easy-to-use tool which includes research based content and parenting tools specifically designed to help parents implement the strategies covered in the courses in a way that meets the unique needs of their families. Attend's quick data reporting tools also provides clinicians with a new level of insight into the child's progress outside of the clinic. Ultimately our goal is to empower parents so as to accelerate their child's skill acquisition and goal achievement."

The learning content in Attend Behavior is based on the RUBI Parent Training Program, an evidence-based parenting program that has been shown to improve outcomes for children with ASD and included in  Oxford University Press' Programs that Work Series.
