Parent Implemented Interventions (PII)

Parent implemented interventions (PII) consist of practitioners collaborating with, training, and coaching parents to implement evidence-based practices (EBPs) with their children throughout daily routines and activities.

What Will I Learn?

The AFIRM model guides the learner through four lessons to facilitate:

  • Learning basic knowledge about parent implemented interventions (PII).
  • Applying PII in activity based scenarios that promote real-world application.

The PII module will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours to complete. However, the module is broken into individual lessons to help guide your learning:

Lesson Time to Complete
A Case for PII 10 minutes
Lesson 1: Basics of PII 20 minutes
Lesson 2: Planning for PII 25 minutes
Lesson 3: Using PII 45 minutes
Lesson 4: Monitoring PII 25 minutes
Applying PII 10 minutes
