Observation-Based Skill Review
The checklist reflects observed or reviewable parent behavior, not parent self-report or broad personality judgments.
CPRT Parent Skills Checklist
The CPRT Parent Skills Checklist is a practitioner-only review tool for practitioners supervising parents learning child-centered play skills. It helps practitioners record observed or reviewable parent behavior and generate a skill profile showing strengths, coaching needs, insufficient-evidence areas, and development over time.
