The Foundation Of Effective Therapy
The Role of the Family in ABA Therapy
Family engagement is a cornerstone of effective ABA therapy for children with autism. When parents are trained in ABA techniques, children show faster and greater progress.
By equipping parents and caregivers with the skills and knowledge to actively reinforce therapy techniques, we ensure progress extends beyond sessions and into everyday life. With Brighter Strides family training and support, you can become a more active facilitator of your child’s success with ABA therapy and beyond.

The Benefits Of Family Training In ABA
Better outcomes with long-term success for the whole family.
- Parental involvement directly correlates with successful therapeutic outcomes. Family training fosters the most conducive environment for learning and a nurturing atmosphere that supports children’s growth and emotional health.
- Developing communication skills strengthens parent-child relationships, leading to more positive interactions and a reduction in challenging behaviors like aggression and hyperactivity.
- Parents who learn ABA strategies can better manage behavior and help children apply skills across different settings. Parental support encourages participation in therapy, promoting independence and long-term developmental success.
- Parent training significantly lowers parental stress levels. Improvements to parents’ mental well-being fosters healthier family dynamics that positively impact autistic children and the whole family unit.
- When parents are informed and confident, they become more effective advocates for their child’s needs—in therapy, at school, and throughout life.

Success Stories
The true impact of our work is best reflected in the words of our clients.
The entire team consistently goes above and beyond to create a supportive and personalized environment. We also appreciate their flexibility with scheduling. While we understand that therapists have their own lives and occasionally need adjustments, which we’re happy to accommodate, it might be a consideration for families who need a more rigid schedule.
Overall, we’re grateful for the care and dedication Brighter Strides has shown our family.
A huge part of that success was thanks to the thoughtful and intentional approach of his BCBA. She always made sure he was paired with the RBT who would best support his needs at any given time, and those decisions made a real difference in his experience and progress.
He truly looked forward to going to ABA, and it's bittersweet to see him "graduate." While we're so proud of how far he's come, he’ll definitely miss the friends he made and the positive, supportive environment at Brighter Strides. Thank you for everything — we couldn’t have asked for a better team to walk this journey with us!
From day one, their team has gone above and beyond to provide thoughtful, individualized care. The BCBAs are not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive, taking the time to explain each step of the process and truly collaborate with us. The RBTs have been professional, consistent, and caring, building real relationships with our child and helping us see meaningful progress.
Communication is always clear, scheduling has been flexible, and it’s obvious that the staff truly care about the kids and families they work with. We feel lucky to be part of a provider that prioritizes quality, respect, and results.
Highly recommend Brighter Strides to any family looking for ABA services that are both compassionate and effective
I’ve been through the ups, the downs, the medication trials and tapers, the hospitalizations, the endless school calls, emails, and texts. I’ve felt the pain of isolation, the tears, the depression. I’ve experienced the failure of services that weren’t the right fit, and the heartbreak that comes when nothing seems to work. I’ve felt the physical, verbal, and emotional toll of parenting a child with extreme behavioral needs. I’ve been there, ready to give up with nowhere left to turn.
But I didn’t give up. And I’m writing this today to tell you not to either.
Brighter Strides ABA Therapy has been nothing short of life-changing for our family. Since starting services with them, and more importantly, with the right team, my son has gone from 50 aggressive behaviors in an hour to five or fewer a week. Sometimes even none. That’s not an exaggeration. It’s a testament to the power of the right support, the right medication plan, and the right people.
To Hannah and Kuri, our BCBA and RBT, you have not only changed my son’s life, you have saved my mental health as a parent. You’ve brought peace and hope back into our home. I will forever be indebted to you.
To the parents still in the thick of it: don’t stop advocating. Don’t stop learning. Don’t let anyone make you question how well you know your child. Every gut instinct I followed, every time I pushed back or pressed harder, it paid off. Keep fighting the fight. Be willing to grow and adapt alongside your child. There is always more to learn. And there is help out there that does work, Brighter Strides is proof of that.
ABA therapy, when done right, with the right people, alongside proper medication and parent training, is a game changer. It’s not perfect—but nothing is. And when you’ve been through what we have, even small wins feel like miracles.
Thank you, Brighter Strides. Thank you, Hannah and Kuri. You didn’t just help my son, you saved our family.
Mrs. Alyssa, our dedicated coordinator, has been an exceptional advocate for my son, ensuring that his needs are met on various different occasions when I was unknowledgeable on how to express them. Mrs. Z, through her one-on-one sessions, has brought creativity, enthusiasm, and unwavering dedication to his development, making a meaningful impact that has not gone unnoticed.
Thank you both for not only supporting my son but also guiding and uplifting our entire family as we navigate this journey. Your hard work and commitment mean the world to us!
