You are your child's most important teacher. Learn the same evidence-based strategies used by our clinical team.
You are your child's most important teacher. While therapists work with your child for a limited number of hours each week, caregivers support learning and development across daily routines. Parent and caregiver training equips you with the same evidence-based strategies used by our clinical team, allowing you to consistently support skill development in meaningful, real-world contexts.
Our comprehensive training program provides practical, effective techniques for teaching new skills, addressing challenging behaviors, and creating learning opportunities within everyday activities such as meals, play, and community routines. This structured approach promotes consistency, strengthens skill generalization, and supports long-term progress across environments.
Practical skills for everyday situations
Learn effective techniques for breaking down skills into teachable steps, using prompts appropriately, and reinforcing progress to help your child master new abilities.
Understand why challenging behaviors occur and learn proactive strategies to prevent them, as well as effective responses when they do happen.
Create positive mealtime routines, address picky eating, and teach appropriate table behaviors during family meals.
Turn everyday play into learning opportunities. Learn how to embed teaching moments into fun activities your child already enjoys.
Prepare for and navigate outings like grocery stores, restaurants, doctor's appointments, and other community activities successfully.
Establish effective morning routines, bedtime routines, and transition strategies that reduce stress and build independence.
Our structured approach to empowering families
We identify your family's priorities, challenges, and goals to create a customized training plan that addresses your specific needs.
Your BCBA explains the evidence-based strategies, why they work, and how they apply to your child's specific goals and behaviors.
Watch your BCBA or RBT demonstrate strategies with your child so you can see exactly what the techniques look like in action.
Practice the strategies yourself while your BCBA provides real-time coaching and feedback to help you feel confident.
Apply what you've learned throughout your daily routines. Your BCBA provides ongoing support and adjustments as needed.
Most insurance plans require parent training as part of ABA services, and research shows it significantly improves outcomes. Parent involvement is essential for skill generalization and long-term success.
Absolutely! We encourage all regular caregivers to participate in training. Consistency across all caregivers helps your child generalize skills more effectively.
Training frequency is individualized based on your family's needs and insurance authorization. Most families receive training sessions weekly or bi-weekly, often integrated into regular therapy supervision visits.
That's completely normal! Your BCBA will provide additional coaching, modify strategies as needed, and work with you until you feel confident. We're here to support you every step of the way.
