Parent Training
Parent Training for Families of Children on the Autism Spectrum
Raising a child on the autism spectrum comes with unique challenges and triumphs.
At Function First ABA, we understand that long waitlists—often stretching from six months to a year—can leave families feeling overwhelmed and unsupported. That’s why we’re proud to offer personalized Parent Training packages led by a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
These 1:1 sessions are tailored to meet your family’s specific concerns, equipping you with practical tools and strategies to support your child’s growth and address their needs.
Parent Training empowers you to navigate your child’s developmental journey with confidence while fostering positive changes in their behavior and skills.
What Parent Training Covers
Our Parent Training sessions are individualized to address the needs of both you and your child.
Understanding Autism Diagnosis: Build a deeper understanding of your child’s unique needs, helping you create a supportive and enriching home environment.
Behavior Management: Discover evidence-based techniques to manage challenging behaviors and reinforce positive actions.
Language Development: Support your child’s ability to communicate through verbal language or alternative communication methods.
Receptive Skills Training: Enhance your child’s ability to follow directions, process information, and interact with their surroundings.
Social Skills Development: Equip your child with interpersonal skills, including understanding social cues, engaging in conversations, and forming meaningful relationships.
Our approach begins with a collaborative assessment of your family’s goals and concerns.
Based on this assessment, your BCBA will develop an individualized treatment plan designed to address your child’s specific strengths and challenges.
Parent Training is not just about understanding your child’s diagnosis—it’s about learning how to integrate research-based techniques into daily life.
From building routines to implementing reinforcement systems, our BCBA will guide you every step of the way. You’ll gain skills that empower you to create meaningful, lasting change in your child’s development.
How Parent Training Works
The Benefits of Parent Training
Families who engage in Parent Training often report increased confidence in their ability to address their child’s needs.
Through consistent guidance and support, parents gain a clearer understanding of how to help their child succeed in a variety of environments—from home to school to the community.
Parent Training also fosters a stronger connection between parent and child.
By understanding how your child experiences the world and learning to communicate more effectively with them, you’ll build a deeper bond rooted in trust and understanding.
