Parent Role
The parent uses the plan to identify when and how the special play interaction will occur and to notice barriers that may interfere.
Special Playtime Plan
Special Playtime Plan is a parent-facing home practice tool for practitioners guiding parents in child-parent relationship therapy. It helps parents identify when and how a structured weekly play interaction will happen, name barriers, and later report whether practice occurred so the practitioner can review consistency and experience.

Review Role
The practitioner reviews planned versus reported practice and barriers without the tool rating parent success or scoring child outcomes.
Is this a full CPRT curriculum?
No. This tool supports a special playtime plan and review; it does not teach the full curriculum or invent skill instructions.
Does the parent use this tool?
Yes. The parent completes or updates the plan and may report adherence or experience if the practitioner requests review.
What if the parent misses the planned playtime?
Missed playtime is recorded as adherence information for review, not as an automated judgment of failure.
What gets saved when there are no configured instructions yet?
The fixed tool is still saved as-is, with unresolved instruction slots until legitimate content is configured.
