Description: We as behaviorists have shown ourselvesto be effective at achieving behavior change with consumers, such as children/adolescents with developmental disabilities; however, we may struggle achieving generalization of skills across settings/implementers due to challenges with parent compliance and fidelity. How many times have we arrived at a session only to discover the parent or caregiver did not collect data outside of the session or implement the recommended strategies? This workshop will review contingencies with regard to parent/caregiver behavior and will teach strategies to achieve buy-in and compliance by parents/caregivers to achieve long-term change in the consumer's behavior as well as generalization across implementers (caregivers).
Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this workshop, participants should be able to:

Identify contingencies (antecedents, consequences, functions, replacement skills, and reinforcers) for parent/caregiver behavior

Identify intervention strategies (preventative and reactive) to use to achieve effective implementation by parents/caregivers

Activities: Interaction is a must in this workshop. A comprehensive teaching style will be used, including but not limited to active verbal discussion, video, and practice activities. Take-home materials, such as tools, checklists, and sample data sheets, will be provided.
Audience: This workshop's target audience includes introductory and intermediate BCBAs, other behaviorists, and other professionals who want to increase their skill set as related to effective parent training in applied settings.
