How Parents Can Be Involved in Behavioral Therapy Sessions
How Parents Can Be Involved in Behavioral Therapy Sessions
Learn Skills and Strategies for Positive Reinforcement
During ABA therapy sessions, behavioral therapists provide parents with evidence-based strategies and techniques that can be applied to everyday life. This includes positive reinforcement tools like verbal praise or rewards that can help shape behavior. In addition, behavioral therapists may also teach parents how to better handle situations in which their child has a difficult time controlling themselves. Through positive reinforcement, behavioral therapists are helping both the parents and their children learn valuable skills that can be applied to everyday life.
Establish a Home-Based ABA Program
In addition to attending ABA therapy sessions, behavioral therapists often recommend that parents set up a home-based ABA program. This helps support the learning your child has in sessions and allows you to continue reinforcing behavioral goals outside of the clinic. Parents, with the help of behavioral therapists, can establish a home-based ABA program that is tailored to their child's specific needs and abilities. This program may include activities, tasks, and rewards to help reinforce behavioral goals throughout the day.
Encourage Independence
One of the most important goals of ABA therapy is to help children become more independent. Parents play a key role in this process by providing their children with the opportunity to explore and test skills learned during behavioral therapy sessions. This can include teaching your child how to make decisions on their own, and manage daily tasks such as brushing teeth or getting dressed.
