We teach you the strategies our therapists use, so progress continues between sessions.
Parent training is the single highest-leverage service we deliver. The hours your child spends in ABA with an RBT are a fraction of the hours they spend with you. If you know what we are doing and why, your child's progress carries over to dinner, to bedtime, to the grocery store, to every moment you share. Most insurance plans cover parent training as a separate billable service alongside direct ABA.
You meet with your BCBA on a regular schedule — typically one hour weekly or biweekly depending on your plan and your goals.
We do not lecture. We work through the specific challenges you bring — the tantrum at the dinner table, the meltdown at the grocery store, the bedtime that takes two hours.
Visual schedules, communication systems, behavior interventions, reinforcement strategies. We teach the techniques and watch you practice them.
Your BCBA may join you for a real-world challenge — a meal, a transition, a community outing — and coach you through it in the moment.
I stopped feeling like a passenger in my son's therapy. I felt like the driver.

Every parent in our care. Parent training is part of every treatment plan we deliver. The format is tailored to your situation, your schedule, and your goals.
Parents of children at any age. Parents of toddlers learn one set of skills. Parents of teenagers learn a different set. Both matter equally.
Caregivers, grandparents, and siblings. Parent training is not limited to parents. Grandparents, siblings, and other caregivers can be included in the work when families want.
Most parent training sessions happen at your kitchen table. Your BCBA pulls up data from your child’s recent sessions, asks you what is working at home, what is not, and what you want to focus on. From there, you work together on specific strategies. Sometimes you practice with your child present. Sometimes the session is just the two of you.

Parent training coverage depends on your specific insurance plan and diagnosis. We verify your exact benefits before you commit so there are no surprises.

Parent training matters most when your child's challenges show up across multiple settings, when you want skills to generalize quickly, or when you want to be the leader of your child's progress instead of an observer of it.
A Maryland dad was skeptical of parent training. He worried it would feel like being graded as a parent. His BCBA started slow, working through one routine at a time. The bedtime routine first. Then mealtimes.
Six months in, this dad was running his son's reinforcement system during weekend visits to his in-laws and felt for the first time like he understood why his son did what he did. He still does parent training sessions every other week.
Parent training is not the right fit if there is no caregiver consistently available to participate. The whole model depends on a parent, grandparent, or caregiver who is present enough to learn the strategies and carry them into daily life.
If your household cannot reliably commit a caregiver to the sessions right now, direct ABA can still move your child forward — and we can layer parent training in later when the timing is right. We would rather sequence it honestly than set you up to feel behind.
No — it is billed and scheduled as its own service, not carved out of direct therapy hours. It multiplies the value of those direct hours by extending the strategies into the rest of the week.
That is exactly what parent training is for. We look at what you tried, why it may not have worked for your child specifically, and adjust. Generic advice fails; a plan built on your child’s data is different.
Both, and we encourage it. Consistency across caregivers accelerates progress. We can also include the parent who cannot always attend through telehealth sessions.
Common, and workable. We help the household land on a consistent approach for the specific behaviors that matter most, while respecting that you are still two different people. Consistency on the key strategies is what counts.
There is no graded homework. We may suggest trying a strategy between sessions and noticing what happens, but the point is real life, not assignments. We meet you where you are.
Yes, in every state we serve it is a distinct billable service alongside direct ABA. We confirm your specific coverage during verification.
No waitlist. No runaround.
