Back to: ABA Parent Coaching
Parent engagement is the key to successful parent training. However it’s often difficult to get busy parents to actively participate in training. They may be feeling overwhelmed with all their responsibilities, or believe that ABA therapy only happens at the clinic. They may resist the strategies you teach them because they’re so different from what they have experienced in the past, or they might simply not understand what you’re telling them.
The videos below explain 3 common obstacles to parent training (and how to solve them), and provide tips for improving your training. The workbook follows along with these videos (no need to take notes!) and provides space for planning ways you can increase the effectiveness of your training.
