Supervision CEU: Supporting Clinicians with Values-Based Parent Training

Parent training in ABA has a robust evidence base for producing skill acquisition and behavior reduction. What the field has more recently recognized is that technical effectiveness in a training session does not predict consistent caregiver implementation across natural environments — and that gap between trained skill and sustained implementation is often a values problem rather than a skill problem.

Course Description

Ready to level up your parent training sessions? Join us for a practical Supervision CEU event for behavior analysts who want to bring more meaning—and more buy-in—to caregiver collaboration. Grounded in principles of Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT), this session explores how values can guide and energize the parent training process. The training emphasizes how aligning parent training goals with caregiver values can increase engagement, promote autonomy, and build long-term behavior change rooted in what families find most meaningful.

What You'll Learn

1. Define values within a behavior analytic framework, describing them as verbally constructed, flexible patterns of behavior that function as motivating operations and influence long-term commitment to action.
2. Implement structured activities (e.g., Life Compass, Values Card Sort, Magic Wand exercise) that support values clarification for both clinicians and caregivers.
3. Integrate values-based strategies into parent training to enhance caregiver engagement, promote autonomy, and support meaningful, sustainable behavior change.
