ABA Parent Guidance in Nashville

At Wellspring Learning Centers, we hold “Parents As Partners” at the heart of our approach. We recognize that parents and caregivers play a vital role in the success of ABA early intervention therapy, which is why we offer a range of ABA-based parent guidance training opportunities to support your child’s ongoing growth beyond our center’s walls. Through collaborative relationships between our team and parents, we foster lasting progress in behavior and gain a deeper understanding of your child’s unique needs.

ABA Training for Parents at Wellspring Learning Centers

As part of our ABA therapy programs, families enrolled at Wellspring Learning Centers have the opportunity to participate in regular ABA-based parent guidance and training sessions. These sessions, led by our experienced Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), are designed to ensure the effective implementation of your child’s treatment plan at home and other public settings.

This comprehensive support includes bi-weekly meetings, quarterly seminars, and annual family events, allowing you to stay informed, engaged, and equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to promote your child’s progress outside of ABA sessions.

What to Expect During Our ABA Parent Training Sessions

During our parent guidance sessions you can expect a collaborative approach as we develop treatment strategies, goals, and behavior support skills. Through these sessions, we create a supportive and empowering environment where we share knowledge, exchange ideas, and build a plan together for your child’s success.

Bi-Weekly Parent Meetings

Our bi-weekly parent meetings serve as a valuable time for collaboration between our team and parents. During these meetings, we discuss your child’s progress, address arising challenges, and evaluate the effectiveness of their ABA therapy early intervention treatment. Through these conversations, we can make necessary adjustments to the treatment plan so it remains tailored to your child’s changing needs.

Regular Progress Reviews

Our team of skilled analysts regularly work with you to develop a thorough understanding of your child’s progress, challenges, and overall well-being. This assures our treatment plans are constantly updated and tailored to your child’s unique needs.

We start with the data collected over the past months to track your child’s progress using our state-of-the-art CentralReach software and services platform, considered the best in the industry. That data is transformed into a story of milestones achieved and upcoming goals. We then overlay that story with your response during our progress review meetings. Your input helps us understand the child’s most recent behavior at home and in social settings. Specific family needs and priorities are also requested. This feedback helps us identify barriers to treatment and ensure that our programs and interventions align with your family needs in a way that is socially and culturally appropriate.

Annual Family Events

We organize annual family events that provide an opportunity for our clients to participate in a calendar event specifically designed to be sensory-friendly and judgment-free. By offering these inclusive experiences, we aim to strengthen the sense of community among our families and create lasting memories in a setting that embraces and celebrates the diversity of our families.

We recently visited Wellspring and met with both Eric and Gerardo. They were both welcoming and enthusiastic to meet with us. This new clinic was absolutely stunning and very well thought out for both function and therapeutic success. Each room serves a purpose and focuses on specific goals a learner might have in their programming. Their enrollment process and parent support is excellent. We are excited to be able to use Wellspring for therapeutic matching for our clients!

The Importance of Parent Involvement in ABA Therapy

Research consistently highlights the significance of active parent participation in promoting positive outcomes for children receiving ABA therapy. Parent involvement ensures consistency, reinforces learned skills, and facilitates implementation of new behaviors across different environments. It also strengthens the parent-child bond and allows for a more comprehensive and holistic approach to treatment. By providing you with the skills and strategies through parent guidance, you’ll feel empowered to effectively support your child’s progress both during ABA sessions and in everyday life.
