Supervision CEU: Centering the Family: Strengthening ABA Outcomes Through Collaborative, Values-Driven Care

Adrienne Bradley's presentation challenges behavior analysts to examine whether their family engagement practices are genuinely family-centered or merely family-compliant. Compliance-driven family engagement gets signatures on consent forms, attendance at caregiver training sessions, and surface-level cooperation with home programming.

Course Description

Ready to transform your parent engagement practices? This dynamic session will challenge you to move beyond compliance-driven approaches and embrace values-driven, collaborative care that truly centers families. Discover how integrating Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles can empower caregivers, increase commitment, and foster sustainable progress. You'll leave equipped with practical tools to build stronger, more trusting partnerships that amplify the impact of your ABA interventions.

What You'll Learn

  1. Identify how values-based approaches, such as the ACT Matrix, can be used to elevate caregiver voices and enhance engagement in ABA treatment.
  2. Demonstrate how to integrate behavior skills training (BST) with ACT principles to navigate parent concerns with empathy, clarity, and alignment to family values.
  3. Develop strategies for fostering trust-based, collaborative relationships with families through natural conversation, intentional listening, and contextually sensitive supports.
