Service
Parent & Caregiver Training
Scheduled coaching with the BCBA so you can support your child confidently between sessions, not only during them.
Who this is for
- Any family receiving services — this is built into the schedule, not tacked on
- Caregivers who want to know what to do at 6pm on a Sunday when no one is there
- Grandparents, siblings, and babysitters who share the caregiving load
- Families who want telehealth coaching because evenings are tight
What it looks like
Caregiver training is a scheduled appointment with the clinical director, not a five-minute conversation at the door.
We start with the routine you'd change first if you could change one thing. Usually it's bedtime, mealtimes, or leaving the house.
You learn the same strategies the technician uses, adapted to your actual kitchen, your actual evening, and your actual family.
Sessions can happen in your home or by telehealth, and other caregivers are welcome to join.
Goals we commonly work on
- Reinforcement that fits your family
- Teaching your child to ask instead of escalate
- Surviving transitions
- Mealtime routines
- Bedtime routines
- Getting out the door on time
- Responding to hard moments consistently
- Building independence at home
Your child's goals are written for your child. This list is what families in this service most often work on, not a menu we assign.
How we measure progress
- We track the routine, not your performance. The question is whether bedtime is going better, not whether you did it perfectly.
- Short caregiver-collected data — a checkbox, not a spreadsheet.
- Regular check-ins on which strategies you're actually using, so we can drop the ones that don't fit your life.
Why we won't shortchange this
Caregiver training is the highest-leverage service in ABA and the one most practices under-deliver, because it's the easiest line to let slide when a week gets full.
You are with your child far more hours than we will ever be. Coaching you is not an add-on to the program — it is a large part of why the program works.
