Caregiver Training

It is clear from research and experience that without family involvement, outcomes are compromised. We offer parent training in a variety of models to find the best format that works for you including: sibling involvement, parent observations of sessions, direct meetings with parents, and parental implementation of therapy in community settings with clinician support. We actively initiate the involvement of parents and promote consultative models when intensive therapy is not needed.

Caregivers involved in training includes parents, of course! We also are invested in the rest of your caregiver group including siblings, grandparents, babysitters, teachers, and anyone else important in your child’s life!

Telehealth

Tele-health

Telehealth services are available after initial assessments are completed. These can be done in 2 formats:

Meet with the family for caregiver training and coaching on therapeutic interventions remotely.
Set up telehealth with therapist working 1:1 with the child in the home to minimize harm during these uncertain times by limiting the number of people within the home.

We can walk parents through the process of data collection remotely. This is needed for the clinician to be effective in training families and to update child therapy needs. This can be done using available technology.

Intervention Services

We use methods of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to help your child achieve socially significant and age-appropriate goals. This includes learning how to learn, play skills, independent living skills, and above all, communication skills. This is done through the following types of approaches:

Verbal Behavior
Precision Teaching
Positive Behavior Support
Picture Exchange Communication Systems
Natural Environment Teaching

While using these approaches, we believe it is important to match the best approach combination up with your child's needs in order to capitalize on the time they are in therapy.
