Parent Training
You know your child best, and you spend the most time with them. Caregiver training gives you the same strategies your child's therapy team uses, so you can support new skills every day. It is part of every BrightBridge program.
Why parent training matters
Your child spends most of their week outside therapy sessions. When the adults around them respond the same way the therapy team does, your child gets more chances to practice, and new skills are more likely to show up at home, at the store, and with family.
What you will work on
Caregiver training follows your family’s priorities and your child’s treatment plan. Common topics include:
- Communication. Ways to encourage your child to ask for what they want, by words, signs, pictures, or a device.
- Daily routines. Breaking tasks like dressing, mealtimes, toileting, and bedtime into steps your child can learn.
- Behavior. Understanding why a behavior happens and teaching skills that meet the same need in a safer way.
- Play and connection. Joining your child’s play and building turn-taking and shared attention.
How sessions work
Your child’s BCBA meets with you on a regular schedule. Some sessions happen while your child’s RBT works with your child, so you can watch and practice. Others are a conversation about progress, new goals, and anything that is getting harder at home.
Part of every program
Caregiver training comes with both in-home ABA therapy and clinic-based ABA therapy. It starts after the ABA assessment, when your BCBA sets goals with you.

Yes. Grandparents, babysitters, and other adults who care for your child are welcome. The more people who use the same approach, the more consistent your child's day becomes.
