General CEU: Parenting as a BCBA: Finding Your Balance

Parenting as a BCBA: Finding Your Balance is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of caregiver coaching, home routines, team meetings, and values-sensitive decision making. For this course, the practical stakes show up in better alignment between intervention and the family context in which it must survive, not in abstract discussion alone.

Course Description

Finding work-life balance as a BCBA can often feel like an unachievable task. When the responsibilities of parenthood are added to the list, one's time can feel even more limited. How can we not only find ways to maximize our time to promote a manageable work-life balance? Furthermore, how does being a parent possibly make one a more effective BCBA? What additional barriers does parenthood create?

What You'll Learn

  1. Discuss the positive impact and perspective of being a parent on service delivery and program conceptualization.
  2. Discuss the potential barriers of being a working parent as a BCBA, as well as its possible impact on objectivity with program conceptualization.
  3. Examine ways to access personal experience to build stronger connections with caregivers and discover tools that support organization and work-life balance as a working parent.
