Join Us for Parent Training: Understanding Why Behaviors Happen & How to Prevent Them

Ever wonder why your child does certain behaviors or how to help them make better choices? This training will give you easy, practical tools you can use at home every day. We’ll talk about the functions of behavior—the real reasons behind what your child does—and show you how small changes can make a big difference.

You’ll learn simple proactive strategies to help prevent challenging behaviors before they start, and how to use positive reinforcement to encourage the behaviors you want to see more of. No previous knowledge of ABA is needed—everything will be explained in clear, parent-friendly language with real-life examples.

Come learn how to make your home calmer, more predictable, and more enjoyable for you and your child. We’re here to support you every step of the way!
