How are parents and caregivers involved in therapy?

Caregiver involvement is critical to getting the most out of ABA therapy. Research shows caregiver participation results in positive outcomes across a variety of different skills and behaviors. InBloom Autism Services, as well as insurance payors, require caregivers be involved in coaching/education sessions at least twice per month.

Throughout the course of therapy, individual goals are set for caregivers to support their, as well as their child’s progress. Coaching sessions conducted by your child’s Board Certified Behavior Analyst involve a high level of collaboration to ensure skills targeted for therapy are those most meaningful and impactful for your child as well as for your family. Additionally, caregiver coaching sessions are necessary in order to promote desired skills and behavior across a variety of settings, situations, and people. Most often, children need some help learning how to transfer acquired skills outside of the context of therapy and across different people.
