Information:

Parent involvement in ABA is a necessary part of treatment that is recommended in order for individuals to receive the best outcomes. However, adherence by parents to these recommendations is often low. Parents may choose to not participate in therapy or may not have their children participate in therapy due to barriers. This training will discuss ways to assess ways to interpret, assess, and change intervention strategies to help parents reduce barriers to involvement and increase motivation to be more involved in ABA treatment with their child.

Course Objectives:
