In Empowering Families Under Stress with Tailored, Family-Centered, for this course, the practical stakes show up in clearer roles, fewer duplicated efforts, and better coordinated intervention, not in abstract discussion alone.

As the field of ABA expands, new and seasoned BCBAs continue to seek support in how best to support caregivers in ways that are valued by the family. Building confidence in this area for BCBAs working in a variety of service delivery settings should be a focus of ongoing training, as well as creating dynamic models that meet the requirements of funders and stakeholders. During this session, the panelists will discuss how caregiver stress can impact the family unit, as well as outcomes for clients. This discussion will review current data in the field as well as the personal account of a parent and BCBA who has received services for her own child. Brief presentations will be given in relation to utilizing caregiver interview and flowchart tools to determine the most appropriate format for caregiver collaboration, as well as identifying individualized values-based goals. The panelists will also give perspectives and tools to support caregivers across a variety of service settings including private insurance funded centers and home-based services, as well as maximizing impact with caregivers while supporting students with ABA services in the public school system.
