caregiver support and training

This method of treatment is focused on teaching you, the caregiver, how to meet your loved ones needs. This services is ideal for clients who cannot commit to, or do not need, the high amount of direct therapy that most ABA companies require. This is also an ideal services for clients who are or on wait lists for direct ABA services but want support immediately. If you are on another waitlist for direct ABA therapy, we will happily help you transition to your chosen provider once a spot opens up. 

We use the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to teach parents and caregivers to be leaders in their loved one's treatment. Evidence based practices are used to reduce problem behavior and teach skills such as communication, coping strategies, social skills, independence, etc. We will work with you to create goals and collect ongoing data to ensure that progress is being made. This services can be done virtually or in person. Some direct work may be done with your loved one; however, the focus of this services is on educating and supporting you, the parent and/or caregiver.

*An FBA is an evaluation of behavior. We interview caregivers, observe the client, and collect data to determine the likely reasons that each challenging behavior is occurring and. We then identify replacement behaviors, so that the client is able to meet the their needs in a healthier, safer, and more appropriate way. The FBA serves as a starting point for effective treatment and is used to guide caregivers and providers. Our FBA option is often helpful in school, daycare, and other therapies where challenging behavior exists but specific behavioral therapy is not occurring.
