Caregiver Training and Education
Onsite Caregiver Training - Two Week Program or Hybrid
Offered in St. Louis, Southeast, and Central regions.
Onsite Caregiver Training is not just about teaching your child new skills, but about teaching your entire family how to best understand your child and how to support their needs. Our two-week and hybrid onsite programs integrate group instruction, individual sessions, and guided observation. This program is designed to help caregivers become acquainted with our training methods, learn how to plan activities for their child, resolve problem behaviors, and how to choose and use appropriate techniques to address various situations. Under the coaching and direction of our Autism Training Specialist, caregivers attend daily workshops and conduct therapy sessions with their child. When not in session, children participate in fun, creative activities to further their skills and help them reach their goals.
Autism Training Specialists use Applied Behavior Analysis techniques to help caregivers learn to:
- Support your child to communicate, cope, and develop essential skills
- Tailor daily therapeutic activities so your child can reach their goals
- Interact and connect in a real way with your child every day
- Manage stress
