You are your child's most important therapist. Our BCBAs teach you practical ABA strategies you can use every day — empowering your family to extend the impact of therapy around the clock.
Parent training is a structured program in which a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) from Archways ABA teaches parents and caregivers to understand and implement Applied Behavior Analysis strategies as part of everyday life. Sessions focus on practical, immediately applicable skills — not clinical theory.
Training typically takes place in your home or via telehealth, and is tailored entirely to your child's specific needs, your family's routines, and the challenges you encounter day to day. You'll leave each session with clear action items and the confidence to use what you've learned.
Studies consistently show that when parents are trained to implement ABA strategies, their children make significantly greater gains than when they receive therapy alone. Parent involvement is not a bonus — it's a clinical necessity for the best outcomes.
A child in ABA therapy receives 15–40 hours of therapy per week. That leaves 128+ hours per week when your child is not in formal therapy — at home, at meals, on car rides, at bedtime. What happens during those hours matters enormously.
When parents know how to prompt effectively, reinforce the right behaviors, respond to challenging situations, and build communication opportunities into daily routines, the therapy doesn't stop when the RBT leaves. It continues all day, every day — accelerating your child's progress in ways no clinic session alone can match.
Therapy hours alone are not enough. Parent training is the bridge between the clinic and the rest of your child's life.
Every program is customized, but our core parent training curriculum covers these essential areas — all taught in practical, jargon-free language you can use immediately.
Learn the core principles behind ABA — why behavior happens, what maintains it, and how the environment influences your child's actions. No jargon, just practical understanding.
Discover how to identify what motivates your child and how to use reinforcement effectively to strengthen desired behaviors — without unintentionally reinforcing the ones you want to reduce.
Learn when and how to help your child without creating prompt dependence — using the least intrusive supports needed and systematically fading them to build independence.
Understand why challenging behaviors happen and how to respond in ways that reduce them over time — using proactive prevention strategies and evidence-based consequence procedures.
Learn strategies to build and expand your child's communication — whether they use words, pictures, devices, or signs — by embedding communication opportunities throughout daily routines.
Get tailored guidance for your family's specific challenging moments — mornings, mealtimes, transitions, bedtime — with ABA-based strategies that fit your real life and schedule.
