Caregiver Education Sessions

At Little Spurs Autism Centers, we believe that caregiver involvement aids in the success of your child’s autism therapy. To support our families, we offer monthly Caregiver Education Sessions that last one hour. These sessions can be conducted either at our autism therapy center or in the comfort of your own home. For those searching for “ABA therapy near me,” these sessions will provide valuable insights and support for effective at-home practices, including techniques from ABA applied behavior analysis.

Our Caregiver Education Sessions are designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills you need to support your child’s development. We offer four modes of autism therapy parent education sessions to meet the varying needs of our families:

1. Group parent education sessions
   • These group sessions provide an opportunity for caregivers to learn together, share experiences, and gain a deeper understanding of autism therapy techniques.
   • Conducted by one of our experienced Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs).
   • Held at our autism therapy center on a quarterly basis.
2. Parent Meeting
   • This one-on-one meeting involves the BCBA meeting with the caregiver(s) without the child present at our autism center.
   • Discussions focus on the child’s therapy progress, addressing any new behaviors, and collaborating on treatment plans.
   • Held at our autism therapy center, this meeting ensures that caregivers are fully informed and actively involved in their child’s development.
3. Parent Coaching
   • An autism therapy parent coaching session works towards parent goals using Behavioral Skills Training (BST)
   • BST involves the BCBA teaching skills, modeling the skill, having the caregiver model the skill, and the BCBA providing feedback and positive reinforcement.
   • These autism therapy sessions can be held with or without the child present, empower parents to implement autism therapy techniques at home effectively. 
4. Parent Education
   • An autism therapy parent education session focuses on educating caregivers about ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) terminology, procedures, and interventions.
   • The BCBA meets with the caregiver(s) (without the client present) to review essential autism therapy concepts.
   • This foundational knowledge equips parents to better understand their child’s autism therapy journey and participate more effectively in future coaching sessions.

Our caregiver education approach is designed to offer continuous support for those seeking “ABA therapy near me.” We are committed to empowering families with the skills and confidence they need to contribute positively to their child’s growth and development.
