Synopsis

A child learns a coping skill in therapy. But what happens when frustration arrives at breakfast, during homework, or after a family visit?

Bringing Therapy Home helps foster, kinship, and adoptive caregivers support a child’s therapeutic goals during everyday family life. With practical examples and manageable routines, Sade Ackerman explores how to practice skills during calm moments, ease the transition home after appointments, protect a child’s privacy, and communicate useful observations to the treatment team.

Inside, you will find guidance for:
• Turning recommendations into small, repeatable routines
• Responding when a child declines a skill or a strategy does not help
• Coordinating with therapists, schools, and other professionals
• Supporting children through visits, transitions, and uncertainty
• Recognizing progress beyond fewer difficult behaviors

A caregiver toolkit includes home practice plans, observation sheets, therapist questions, and meeting preparation pages.

Book Seven in the Fostering Through the Hard Parts series offers a compassionate reminder: you do not have to become your child’s therapist. You can provide a steady home where new skills have room to grow.

This book provides general educational information and complements guidance from the child’s licensed clinicians and care team.
