Hi everyone,
I’m a newer BCBA and one area I still don’t feel very confident in is parent training/caregiver coaching. I’ve completed a handful of CEUs on the topic, but I still feel like I haven’t had enough in-depth training or mentorship to feel fully prepared implementing it consistently and effectively with families.
I would really love to hear how other BCBAs built confidence with parent training over time. Did your confidence mainly come from experience, mentorship, specific CEUs/courses, modeling from other clinicians, books, etc.?
I also sometimes struggle with balancing being supportive and collaborative while still giving clear feedback and recommendations to caregivers.
If anyone has resources, trainings, podcasts, books, templates, or general advice that helped you, I’d really appreciate it. I want to improve in this area because I know how important caregiver involvement is for client progress. Thanks in advance!
