Onsite Parent Training is not just about teaching your child new skills, but about teaching your entire family how to best understand your child and how to support their needs. Our two-week onsite program integrates group instruction, individual sessions, and guided observation. This program is designed to help parents become acquainted with our training methods, learn how to plan activities for their child, resolve problem behaviors, and how to choose and use appropriate techniques to address various situations. Under the coaching and direction of our Autism Training Specialist, parents attend daily workshops and conduct therapy sessions with their own child. When not in session, children participate in fun, creative activities to further their skills and help them reach their goals.
Expect to set and reach goals you never dreamed possible! Our two-week, personalized course is a lot of hard work, but it is worth it. Daily, you will participate in a variety of activities, including:
