Holistic ABA Therapy

Parent & Child Caregiver Trainings

There’s no one-size-fits-all guide for helping a child with or without a diagnosis, because every child is one of a kind. Our parent training for children with behavior challenges is based on the belief that with trained coaching sessions, parents can develop a personalized approach that best suits them while also providing support for their child’s growth that’s rooted in compassion and confidence. Navigating challenges through supportive parent coaching sessions helps reinforce the big picture of healthy family relationships and long-term growth.

With our regular training, you’ll be able to dig deeper into the ‘Why’ of the actions and behaviors of your child. We’ll work together to build strategies that reduce stress, improve communication, and support your child’s growth and well-being, while reinforcing learning between sessions. For example, understanding strategies to calm the nervous system is a key part of the emotional regulation strategies.

At EBS, we’ve worked with parents of kids of all ages and developmental stages to help improve their daily life routines and interactions with their children. If you’re on the fence about parent coaching, read a few testimonials to understand how many parents feel it was the best investment they could make for their personal and family development.

Families experience numerous benefits through parent coaching, including increased confidence and self-awareness that help them handle daily challenges more effectively. It also fosters stronger relationships with your children and other family members, built on trust, communication, and understanding.

Additionally, parent coaching provides practical tools and strategies for managing big emotions, stressful moments, and everyday hurdles. You’ll gain the skills to navigate complex issues like special education needs using evidence-based methods and the latest child development research.

Throughout your coaching sessions, there will be regular check-ins on progress, celebrated successes, and constructive feedback and support.

Online and In-Person Parent Coaching Options

Parent coaching is designed to fit seamlessly into your life, offering both online and in-person coaching sessions to meet your needs. Online coaching provides the convenience and flexibility of participating from your own home, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy family schedule.

This format is ideal for parents who prefer a more flexible approach or who may not have access to local coaching resources. In-person coaching, on the other hand, offers a more direct and interactive experience, allowing for deeper connection and hands-on support. Elba Behavior Solutions' coaching program also offers a hybrid model, combining the benefits of both online and in-person sessions. This ensures that parents can choose the format that best suits their lifestyle, preferences, and goals, making it easier to access the support and guidance they need to thrive.

Finding the Right Parent Coach Near You

Choosing the right parent coach is an important step in your parenting journey. It’s essential to find a certified parent coach who not only has expertise in child development and positive parenting but also aligns with your family’s values and communication style. Start by seeking recommendations from trusted family members, friends, or healthcare professionals, or by searching online directories for certified parent coaches in your area.

Take the time to review each coach’s credentials, experience, and approach to coaching. At EBS, we offer a free initial consultation, which is a great opportunity to ask questions and determine if our style of service is a good fit for your family. The right parent coach will provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences and working toward your parenting goals. With the right guidance and support, you can build stronger relationships, develop effective parenting strategies, and create a positive, nurturing environment for your children and entire family.

What is parent coaching, and how can it help my family?

Parent coaching is a personalized, goal-oriented process where a trained professional works with you to identify strengths and challenges in your parenting skills. Initially, parent training often consists of fun and comedic role-play scenarios that mimic challenging scenarios that take place in your home.

After mastering role-play-based training, the behavior coach will provide in-the-moment feedback to support you through real-time challenges. This may look like giving you the exact phrases to use with your child or suggestions on how to manipulate the home environment and guide your child to behave with a suitable response. Once real-time support is consistently successful, the therapist will be present to support, but allow the parent to mostly carry out the skills they’ve learned through training on their own.

This practical system sets the family unit up for success, providing strong tools to manage behaviors, improve communication, and build a more connected family. This training system aims to reduce stress, promote positive behaviors, and foster a nurturing environment tailored to your family’s unique needs.

How is parent coaching different from therapy or counseling?

While therapy often focuses on addressing emotional or mental health issues, parent coaching emphasizes skill-building, behavior management, and goal-setting specific to parenting.

It provides proactive strategies and guidance to navigate everyday challenges, empower your parenting style, and support your child's development, all within a collaborative framework.
