When you become a parent, it is equal parts exciting and terrifying. Many parents have broad or specific hopes and dreams for their children. Yet, at the end of the day, all you want is the best for your child and their future. Therefore, when a child is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), it can feel like your hopes and dreams have been dashed.
Read MoreOur Parent & Caregiver Training focuses on enhancing skills and techniques that can improve functional communication and decrease problem behaviors in individuals with autism and similar disorders. This training also provides valuable information, tips and techniques that can help parents and others better navigate the challenges that come with being a parent or caregiver of a child with special needs.
Offered in an individual or group setting in one of our behavioral health treatment centers or via telehealth, or offered individually to parents and caregivers in our center or at home, this training provides an opportunity for parents and caregivers to learn and practice effective methods that can be used outside of sessions and outside a clinical setting. Bringing parents together as a group creates a support system and can help parents connect with others facing similar challenges.
