Do you ever wonder why you receive rave reviews from your child's teacher/therapists about his good behavior during therapy sessions, but fail to see the improvements at home? Or have you ever been in a situation where the therapist tells you that your child learned a new skill, but you have yet to see it when the therapist leaves? This often is a result of differing expectations in the school/therapy and home setting. As parents, you have the incredible ability to increase your child's skills even when a therapist is not present. Although your child may benefit from their therapy sessions with a BCBA or ABA therapist, learning opportunities are endless and continue to present themselves 24/7. As a parent, it is often your job to capitalize on these opportunities and promote smooth transitions between what is expected of your child in therapy or school, and what is expected of your child at home. There are many ways that you can learn how to incorporate basic ABA principles into your home life, so that your child is provided with the consistency she needs to develop and maintain the skills she is learning.
