• SPACE focuses on training the parents/caregivers to better support their child with anxiety or other emotional problems. It also helps them break the cycle of accommodating and enabling behavior.  Although many of these parent-focused strategies are incorporated into child treatment, regardless, SPACE can be used if the child is resistant or unwilling to participate in treatment, as well as if there are a high level of parent accommodating behaviors.
