Parent Training
Parent training is individualized depending on the needs of the parent, child, and family. Caregivers are taught evidence-based behavioral strategies for managing challenging and disruptive behaviors. Provided by Dr. Kimberly David, Ph.D., parent training includes an evaluation of presenting concerns, assessment of behavior by direct observation and caregiver questionnaires, and tailored interventions. Intervention support includes educating caregivers on specific strategies and coaching for skill acquisition and generalization. While the emphasis of treatment for younger children is teaching behavioral skills to caregivers, therapy for older children may include a focus on individual therapy. Additionally, consultation with other providers, such as physicians and educators, may be available upon request. Some common presenting behavioral concerns for children ages 2 to 12 include:
-
