Margaret Wallis-Duffy and Todd Miller chat with Dr. Leena Augimeri, Director of SNAP Scientific and Program Development at the Child Development Institute about their incredible program called SNAP®. Developed over 25 years ago as an intervention program for boys under 12 in conflict with the law, SNAP® has evolved into an internationally-recognized model for teaching behaviourally troubled children and their parents effective emotion-regulation, self-control and problem-solving. The primary goal of SNAP® is to keep children and youth in school and out of trouble. SNAP®, which stands for Stop Now And Plan, is an evidence-based behavioural model that provides a framework for teaching children struggling with behaviour issues, and their parents, effective emotional regulation, self-control and problem-solving skills. SNAP was developed by Child Development Institute, an accredited children’s mental health organization in Toronto, in 1985 as an intervention program for boys under 12 in conflict with the law.
