SNAP Program
We are collecting small toys costing under $5.00 for children ages 6-11 years old. These toys are used for incentives to help encourage the children to continue to practice and learn new behavior skills as participants in our new program - the STOP NOW AND PLAN PROGRAM ( SNAP® CDI ).

SNAP is an evidence-based behavioral model that provides a framework for teaching children struggling with disruptive behavior issues, and their parents, effective emotional regulation, self-control and problem-solving skills. The primary goal of SNAP is to keep children in school and out of trouble by helping them make better choices “in the moment.”
