Parents play a crucial role in reinforcing the skills their child learns during ABA therapy. By
incorporating ABA strategies at home, you can help maintain progress and encourage
independence.
Tips for Reinforcing Positive Behavior:
● Use Positive Reinforcement: Reward your child with praise, tokens, or small treats
when they demonstrate desired behaviors.
● Be Consistent: Apply the same rules and expectations consistently so your child
understands what is expected.
● Model Good Behavior: Children learn by watching. Demonstrate appropriate behaviors
and communication skills.
● Break Down Tasks: Simplify complex activities into smaller steps to help your child
understand and succeed.
● Encourage Communication: Support verbal and non-verbal communication by using
prompts, visual cues, or assistive devices if needed.
With a structured, positive approach, parents can help their children develop strong behavioral
habits that will last a lifetime.
