Parents and guardians play a critical role in their child’s ABA therapy success. Research shows that parental involvement in therapy significantly improves outcomes. By sharing valuable insights about your child’s preferences, strengths, and challenges during our assessment and then actively participating in their therapy, you are an important factor in their progress.

Your support and encouragement during therapy sessions can help your child stay motivated and engaged in the work. With parental reinforcement of therapy techniques and strategies in daily life at home, children can better generalize their skills across different environments. Active parent participation is vital for consistent reinforcement of learned skills outside of therapy sessions.

Your BCBA will support you with parental coaching and communicate directly throughout your child’s program, but it is important to understand that parents and caregivers have an essential role in the process.
