(REC) A Conversation About Parent Support for Practicing Clinicians

!Important! – Per Presenter Agreement, this course expires Jan 6, 2025 at 11:59pm

Parent support is arguably the most crucial component to significantly improving the lives of families receiving ABA services. With the new wave of popular parenting styles and strategies overloading parents with information on how to manage behavior, it takes practice and skill to find a happy medium between recommending evidence-based strategies supported by the field of ABA and providing your expertise so that parents feel supported. As a Behavior Analyst, you have a responsibility to your clients to act in their best interest, practice within your scope of competence, and maintain your competence within how you choose to practice. It’s time to have a real conversation about how to truly support parents in ways that are beneficial to them and their family, sustainable for you as a practicing clinician to confidently manage your responsibilities, uphold your ethics, and continue improving the lives of everyone involved–not only for families receiving ABA services, but also for the longevity of our field in the realm of clinical practice.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will identify 3 components involved in helping parents improve their current circumstances.
• Participants will define their major role in parent support and the 3 steps to helping parents gain clarity about how to help their child.
• Participants will be able to reflect and audit their own approach to parent support using self-evaluation and soliciting feedback.
