ABA parent training is an important factor in improving treatment outcomes. Behavior analysts have a robust toolbox of skills and knowledge that help them promote skill acquisition and affect behavior change. Parents and caregivers, however, have one incredibly important tool not as readily available to a BCBA… time. A learner’s parents have easy access to early morning mayhem, mid-day meltdowns, and bedtime blowouts in an organic way that isn’t always easy, or even possible, to replicate for professional service providers. Parents also cannot clock out! Because of the tools each party can bring to the table, a collaborative relationship between the behavior analyst and a learner’s parents can significantly improve treatment outcomes, particularly in areas that will lead to socially significant improvements in home and family life.

ABA parent training has been shown to reduce parent stress, improve family interactions, and improve child treatment outcomes (Lesack et al., 2014; Masse, et al., 2016). Many funding sources, including major insurance coverage providers, make parent training a mandatory part of an applied behavior analysis (ABA) treatment plan. Further, parent training may be the only option of getting ‘services’ for some families due to lack of providers in the area or living in rural areas. As such, quality parent training that can be delivered remotely, when it is not feasible to provide in-person direct services, is critical.
