WHAT TO EXPECT

How Does iPCIT Work?

Assessment: The iPCIT process begins with a comprehensive assessment to understand your child’s behavior and your family dynamics. This helps us identify specific areas of concern and set treatment goals. 

Two Phases of iPCIT:

  1. Child-Directed Interaction (CDI):

    • During the CDI phase, parents learn to strengthen their relationship with their child through positive attention and play.
    • This phase emphasizes building a nurturing bond by reinforcing desirable behaviors and improving communication skills.

  2. Parent-Directed Interaction (PDI):

    • In the PDI phase, parents are taught effective discipline and behavior management techniques.
    • Therapists guide parents in setting clear expectations and consistently applying consequences for misbehavior, promoting self-control and compliance in children.

Real-Time Coaching Online: A standout feature of iPCIT is real-time coaching. Using a secure video conferencing platform, our therapists observe parent-child interactions and provide immediate feedback and guidance. This interactive and supportive approach allows parents to practice new skills in real-life situations and receive instant support from our experienced therapists.
