​Parent Training

​Individualized parent training is provided for families of a child diagnosed with developmental disability.  Parent Training uses a short-term educational model with a multidisciplinary approach including direct instruction, modeling, and coaching with live feedback. During these trainings you will learn effective reinforcement, appropriate consequences, how to understand why a behavior occurs, and how to adapt your current parenting style to the behaviors your child demonstrated.

Skill areas addressed in training may include but are not limited to the following:

• Preventing a problem behavior
• Reducing a problem behavior
• Increasing appropriate replacement behaviors
• Teaching functional communication
• Toilet training
• Independent eating and dressing
• Teaching basic and advanced play skills

Parent training will include follow-up sessions to assist with any new issues that may arise, re-examine the current program, or work on establishing a maintenance routine.
