Q: Why is Caregiver Coaching mandatory for 1:1 services:
A: Research indicates that caregiver training is a crucial component in enhancing the effectiveness of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy. A study by Bearss et al. (2015) underscores the importance of incorporating parent education into ABA programs to achieve optimal outcomes. Additionally, a comprehensive guide on ABA parent training highlights that such training can reduce parent stress, improve family interactions, and enhance child treatment outcomes. These findings support the integration of caregiver training into ABA therapy to foster a collaborative environment that benefits both children and their families.
