Building a Collaborative Relationship Course

Building a Collaborative Relationship with Parents and Caregivers

COLLABORATION

Despite an abundance of literature supporting the use of parent training and collaboration to improve outcomes and generalization from ABA programs, little research exists that looks at developing a collaborative relationship with parents involved in ABA programming. Perhaps this is due, in part, to a belief that BCBAs should generalize their skills of pairing with clients and providing supervision to staff to their relationship with parents.

Description of Event

While many skills you utilize with clients, staff and professionals outside the field of ABA support your ability to develop a collaborative relationship with parents, this relationship is distinctly different and requires a high degree of care. Taking the time to build this relationship improves parental “buy-in” which in turn leads to:

Better follow through with implementing interventions
Open conversations about barriers to following through
An exchange of information and ideas
Fewer canceled sessions
Reduced parental stress
Better client outcomes
