Parent and Caregiver Training for Families in Florida and Georgia

At Behavioral Stepping Stones, we believe meaningful change happens when families are empowered. Our Parent and Caregiver Training program is an essential part of every ABA therapy plan. By equipping parents and caregivers with the knowledge and tools they need, we extend the benefits of therapy far beyond the sessions themselves.


Whether you're new to ABA therapy or looking for more hands-on support, our training services are designed to guide you with clarity, compassion, and proven strategies.

Why Family Training Matters

Children thrive when they receive consistent support across all environments. While our team provides the clinical foundation, parents and caregivers play a critical role in reinforcing skills, managing behaviors, and helping their child generalize learning to the home setting.


Our training empowers families to:


  • Understand how and why behaviors occur

  • Respond effectively to challenging behaviors

  • Teach communication, social, and self-help skills

  • Create structure and consistency at home

  • Track progress and celebrate growth

We don’t expect parents to become therapists. Instead, we help you feel more confident, connected, and capable in supporting your child.

What Our Parent Training Includes

Every family we work with receives individualized guidance based on their child’s goals and needs. Our caregiver training includes:


  • One-on-One Coaching - You’ll work directly with our Board Certified Behavior Analysts to learn practical skills you can apply in daily life.
  • Observation and Feedback - We observe parent-child interactions (with your consent), then provide supportive feedback and strategies tailored to your family dynamic.
  • Collaborative Goal Setting - Together, we identify priorities for home-based learning — whether that’s reducing tantrums, building independence, or improving communication.
  • Structured Training Sessions - Our sessions are guided by evidence-based practices and personalized to your child’s ABA treatment plan.
  • Ongoing Support - Parent training is not a one-time session. It’s an ongoing part of our therapy model. As your child progresses, we continue to adapt and guide your role in the process.
  • Support for All Caregivers - Training is available not just for parents, but for grandparents, siblings, and other caregivers involved in the child’s daily routine. The more unified the home environment, the better the outcomes. This inclusive approach creates consistency across caregiving and helps your entire support system feel more informed and capable.
