This series gives great assignments, which are great for para-professionals or parents to utilize between sessions. The age targeted activites are great, especially for the little ones. The categories of activities are helpful in determining what activites will be appropriate with goals the client is working on. I appreciate that there are mutliple activites for each target area.

I have found the activities helpful in beginning to get them to approach difficult subjects, without feeling like they are in the ‘hot seat’.
