(e.g., communication, play and other skills).
4. Practical and evidence-based instructional plans for
caregivers to support the child’s in-school and/or home-
based learning to help them progress in academic and
functional skill areas.
5. Tools to incorporate the use of technology into the
caregiver program of instruction in order to increase the
child’s focus on tasks improve communication and
ultimately enhance their achievement across all areas of
learning.
According to each family’s situation, parents and other
caregivers will be taught to implement instructional
programs based on the principles of behavior. The
parent/caregiver will be taught to implement
techniques based on ABA in the child’s natural
environment during daily routine activities in their
home and community.

2. Individualized parent training is provided through 1:1
sessions where parents/caregivers explain and
describe specific behaviors and communicative
concerns. Following a brief description a Board
Certified Behavior Analyst operationally defines the
target behavior and identifies all the conditions that
affect that behavior. A treatment plan is developed and
data collection procedures are set in place with the
collaborations of all team members. Finally, follow up
individualized sessions are completed on an as-
needed basis. The training helps parents control
unwanted behaviors that occur outside of the school
environment, reinforce what has been learned during
the in-school/classroom experience, and prevent
regression while supporting the objectives of the
learning experience. The training also extends the
children’s training time, which has proven to improve
success rates. It also creates a collaboration between
parents/caregivers and educators by partnering to
reinforce positive children response patterns.
Many parents complain that children who have
acquired skills in school (day programs) are not
demonstrating these capabilities in the home and
community. The Parent/Caretaker Training Program
will help children achieve greater generalization of
skills through reinforcement in the home. The barriers
to acquiring the skills to participate in the children’s
program would be 1. The willingness of the parent or
caregiver to persevere until the child begins to
respond; 2. The parent/caregivers’ capacity to handle
the program; and 3. The level of responsibility they are
willing to accept. Workshop effectiveness is evaluated
based on the pre and post surveys results.
The workshops are presented by professionals with
expertise in specific areas in autism education and
behavioral analysis.
