Parent and caregiver training is one of the most critical yet underemphasized components of applied behavior analysis service delivery. Despite clear mandates from the BACB to involve relevant stakeholders in client treatment, formal education on how to design, deliver, and evaluate caregiver training programs remains minimal in many behavior analysis training programs and continuing education offerings.

A pesar del mandato del BACB de involucrar a los interesados relevantes en el tratamiento de los clientes, la educación formal sobre la capacitación de cuidadores sigue siendo mínima y, en algunos casos, ausente de los programas educativos y las listas de tareas. Esta deficiencia plantea un desafío significativo para los profesionales, obligándolos a enfrentar un escenario de "aprendizaje en el fuego" al navegar por las complejidades de la colaboración con los cuidadores. Nuestra presentación tiene como objetivo iluminar esta brecha crítica en la formación ABA y ofrecer estrategias novedosas para un compromiso efectivo con los cuidadores. Basándonos en investigaciones contemporáneas y estudios de casos reales, buscamos equipar tanto a profesionales novatos como a experimentados con herramientas prácticas para evitar los errores comunes en el entrenamiento de padres, manteniendo al mismo tiempo los estándares de excelencia en la prestación de servicios. Al cerrar la brecha entre la teoría y la práctica, nuestra sesión pretende empoderar a los proveedores de servicios ABA para que cultiven asociaciones significativas con los cuidadores, optimizando así los resultados para los clientes a lo largo de su vida.
