Parent Training

[rbarth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Rick Barth)]

I am hoping to learn more about procedures in use by child welfare
agencies to provide information to courts about the progress that
parents have
made during parent training--information that goes beyond whether or not
parents completed the course/program and that addresses what they did
and
learned in the course. (Apologies to those on the ISPCAN list who also
read this request, 
you need read no farther.)

I'd welcome information from agencies or courts that require additional 
information about parental competencies learned during parent classes. 

Also related, I'd be grateful to hear about agencies that have a
systematic approach to assessment that helps them to decide which
parents should 
receive which form of parent training (if at all). 

Lastly, if any agencies have figures about how many dollars (US) they
pay per parent, to parent training providers who are instructing parents

involved with child welfare services, this too would be very helpful. 
Thanks for considering this request.
