Parent Training for Autism (ASD)
Parent education and training are integral to the Autism Partnership Method (APM).
Raising a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be challenging. Parent involvement and their ability to implement consistent strategies are essential in obtaining the best long-term outcome for a child with autism. The more parents participate in the course of treatment and the more skillful they are, the closer we are to achieving the best possible outcome for the child. This program aims to help parents address and manage challenging issues that happen at home and/or in the community.
Our Customised Parent / Caregiver Training Program is designed to suit the needs of the family. Aimed at resolving challenging situations at home, our trainer will work directly with your family and child on a specific goal(s) that has been agreed upon.
Areas of training may include compliance, behavior management, and how to increase communication opportunities but not limited to these. The training format will be a combination of consultation, didactic lectures, and hands-on practice with your child.
The Parent Training for Autism (ASD) Program includes:
2 hours of Consultation & Informal Observation
18 hours of Parent / Caregiver Training
