Explain the roles parents play in assessment and treatment
According to Sadock, Sadock, and Ruiz (2014), it is necessary to involve parents in the assessment process to get a chronological picture of the child’s growth and development, details of stressors or important events, accurate family history, and their perspective of the family dynamic. Parents also help make informed decisions about goals and treatments. Many studies show that parent participation in treatment improves client outcomes. Empowered with information and strategies, parents increase compliance through assisting their child in treatment engagement, learning new skills, and becoming more independent (Haine-Schlagel & Walsh, 2015). Parent participation is needed to continue the intervention delivery within the home.
