Information for Families
The SMART Family System is an online behavioral program that equips your children and adolescents with the tools necessary to develop into responsible and independent young adults. The paper version of the SMART program has been used with success by thousands of people in the last ten years at the Tarnow Center for Self-Management.
The automated system makes it easy to create your own customized behavioral plans by using positive reinforcement. Not only is the program easy to use, it also provides a fun and rewarding way for your children and adolescents to exhibit positive behavior.
With the SMART Family System, you and your family can:
- Choose from a list of suggested target behaviors based on your answers to the SMART Self-Management questionnaire
- Choose weekly target behaviors using our extensive sample list, or add your own
- Track daily points earned in a user-friendly interface
- Select rewards and privileges that your children would like to earn
- And much, much more!

Since the program is Web-based, you can easily access your child’s account online, allowing you to track progress and view feedback at any time. The SMART Family System also helps you coordinate more effectively with physicians, therapists, consultants, and teachers.
