Our center recognizes the crucial role caregivers play in the support and development of individuals with behavioral challenges. To amplify this support, we offer a comprehensive Caregiver Education program, specifically designed to equip caregivers with the necessary knowledge and skills. This program emphasizes the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), strategic alignment with behavioral goals, and effective data collection. By engaging caregivers actively in the therapeutic process, we aim to create a consistent and supportive environment that maximizes the impact of behavioral interventions.
