TOPI Time-Out Parent Inventory

TOPI Time-Out Parent Inventory
For Clinical And Research Applications

"Time-out doesn't work with my child!"  Parents seeking
professional assistance for managing their child's behavior
often make this statement.  Most of these frustrated parents,
however, are using time-out procedures incorrectly.

The purpose of the Time-Out Parent Inventory (TOPI) is to
provide an objective and quantitative assessment of a parent's
self-reported use of time-out procedures.  The inventory can
be administered to either literate or illiterate parents.  The
person administering the TOPI records and scores the
parent's responses directly on the Record Form.

The TOPI Record Form and TOPI Manual are reproducible as
long as restrictions described at the bottom of the forms are
followed.  Clinicians and researchers may contact Parents
Press for a complimentary copy of the TOPI.
