In ABA services, professional ABA providers (i.e., BCBAs, Board Certified Behavior Analysts) may provide services in multiple ways:

1. Working directly with a client

2. Supervising individuals who work directly with a client

3. Working directly with parents/caregivers by providing training and consultation so that the trained parent/caregiver can effectively work with a client.

This last format of ABA service delivery is referred to as Parent Training or Parent Consultation.

Through Parent Training, caregivers will learn to effectively teach their child with helpful skills across all areas while decreasing the child’s engagement in challenging behaviors.

Parent Training is an essential part of any treatment plan when working with children, adolescents, and young adults as parents play an integral part of a child’s life.

I will work together with parents to identify both long- and short-term treatment goals and will provide tools and strategies to attain those goals. Once parents are equipped with behavioral strategies, they will be able to apply those strategies to new challenges that may arise in the future.

My goal is to empower parents so that their children can thrive in their own environment and to support continuous growth of the children and family as a whole.
