What parent training is
ABA parent training, also called caregiver training, teaches you the methods your child’s therapists use. That way progress continues in the many hours when no therapist is around. Your BCBA explains each method in plain words, shows how it looks with your child and coaches you while you practice during real routines.
Inside a parent training session
Your priorities
Your BCBA asks which moments are hardest right now, such as bedtime, car rides or meltdowns at the store.
One method
You learn a single clear technique, like offering choices, first-then language or praising calm behavior.
Try it with coaching
You use it with your child while your BCBA gives specific feedback.
A plan for the week
You leave with a short plan for when and how to use it until next time.
