Dr Michelle Wong is an accredited service provider for Stepping Stones Triple P and Group Teen Triple P.

Stepping Stones Triple P aims to help parents of children with disabilities develop effective management strategies for dealing with a variety of childhood behaviour problems and developmental issues. The approach has been demonstrated to be effective for children with intellectual and physical disabilities who have disruptive behaviour (Harrold, Lutzker, Campbell & Touchette, 1992; Roberts, Mazzucchelli, Taylor & Reid, 2002 in submission). Goals for change are set by parents and parents learn methods of behaviour management through observation, discussion, practice and feedback. Parents receive constructive feedback about their use of skills in an emotionally supportive context.

Group Teen Triple P is an 8-session program conducted in groups of 10-12 parents. It employs an active skills training process to help parents of teenagers acquire new knowledge and skills in managing their teenager's behaviour. The program consists of group sessions which provide opportunities for parents to learn through observation, discussion, practice and feedback. DVD segments are used to demonstrate positive parenting skills. These skills are then practised in small groups. Parents receive constructive feedback about their use of skills in an emotionally supportive context. Following the group sessions, follow-up telephone sessions provide additional support to parents as they put into practice what they have learned in the group sessions.
