Caregiver Training

Caregiver Training through telehealth allows parents and caregivers to learn the same strategies that ABA therapists use—right from the comfort of their own home. Instead of focusing only on your child during these sessions, the focus is on you as the parent. The goal is to give you the tools, confidence, and support to handle challenging behaviors, teach new skills, and make everyday routines smoother.

What telehealth caregiver training looks like

What telehealth caregiver training looks like
The BCBA teaches you step-by-step strategies tailored to your child’s treatment plan. These may include ways to reduce problem behaviors, improve communication, encourage independence, or strengthen social skills.
You’ll often role-play scenarios, watch demonstrations, or share examples from your child’s day. The BCBA will guide you through how to respond and adjust strategies as needed.
Parents may also be asked to practice during the session with their child present while the BCBA observes and coaches in real time.

What parents can expect

Direct instruction on ABA techniques in clear, family-friendly language.
Hands-on practice, with immediate coaching and feedback from the BCBA.
Practical strategies for daily life, such as how to handle bedtime routines, prepare for school transitions, or manage tantrums in the grocery store.
Written guides, visual supports, or structured plans you can keep and refer to outside of sessions.

Why caregiver training is important

Children with autism and other developmental delays spend the majority of their time with parents and caregivers, not therapists. For therapy to work, it has to extend into daily life.
Caregiver training makes sure that the strategies used in ABA sessions are also used consistently at home, in the community, and at school.
Research shows that when parents actively use ABA strategies, children learn faster and are more likely to maintain progress over time.

The takeaway for families

Telehealth caregiver training empowers you as the parent to become your child’s best teacher and advocate. Instead of relying only on therapy hours, you’ll know how to use evidence-based tools every day, in real situations. This service ensures your child has consistent support across all settings—because progress happens fastest when the whole family is part of the team.
