ABA Parent Training & Caregiver Coaching
Practical coaching so you can support your child’s progress in everyday life, not just during sessions.
Quick answer
ABA parent training is coaching for caregivers, led by your child’s BCBA. You learn practical strategies — reinforcement, routines, communication and handling challenging moments — then practice them with feedback, so your child gets consistent support at home, not only during therapy sessions. It is included in United Autism Therapy’s ABA programs.
You are the most important person on your child’s team
Therapy sessions are a small part of your child’s week. The rest happens at home, in the car, at the park and at grandma’s house. Parent training gives you practical tools to support your child in all of those moments — and helps you feel more confident while you do it.
At United Autism Therapy, parent training is part of every ABA program. It is led by your child’s Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and built around your family’s real life, not a generic curriculum.
What parent training covers
Topics are chosen with you, based on your child’s goals and what feels hardest right now. Families often work on:
- Understanding behavior — what a behavior might be communicating, and what tends to happen before and after it
- Encouraging communication — creating reasons for your child to communicate, and responding in ways that build on it
- Routines — visual schedules, “first–then” language and predictable steps for daily tasks
- Transitions — preparing your child for changes, leaving the park, turning off a screen
- Reinforcement — noticing and celebrating what is going well
- Challenging moments — staying calm, keeping everyone safe and responding consistently
- Community outings — errands, appointments and family events
How sessions work
We follow a simple cycle: explain, show, practice and give feedback. Your BCBA explains a strategy in plain language, shows it with your child, then coaches you as you try it. You will not be handed a stack of worksheets and left to figure it out.
Training can happen during your child’s sessions, at our Westminster center, at home or as separate caregiver meetings. Other important adults in your child’s life, like a grandparent or nanny, can often join so everyone is on the same page.
Support for you, too
Caring for a child with autism can be joyful and demanding at the same time. Parent training is also a place to ask questions, share what is working and talk about what feels hard.

Parent Training: common questions
Why is parent training part of ABA therapy?
Children spend most of their time with family. When caregivers use the same strategies at home, children have more chances to practice new skills in everyday situations.
Do I need any background to take part in parent training?
No. Sessions start with your questions and your child’s current goals. Your BCBA explains strategies in plain language, shows them and then helps you practice.
Can other caregivers join, like grandparents or nannies?
Often, yes. Including the adults who care for your child regularly helps keep strategies consistent. Ask your BCBA about including them.
