Turning Parents Into Teachers  

We provide individualized and group psychoeducation for caregivers to:

• Understand their child’s diagnosis, triggers, and behavior patterns

• Learn about trauma, brain development, and attachment theory

• Develop healthier communication styles and coping strategies

• Decrease stress, guilt, and burnout through informed parenting

This service improves caregiver understanding, confidence, and alignment with therapeutic goals.

We train parents in core behavior intervention techniques rooted in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), including:

• Behavior replacement strategies

• Reinforcement systems and token boards

• Managing meltdowns and tantrums with emotional regulation tools

• Morning, bedtime, and transition routines

• Behavior data tracking for IEPs or therapists

Parents receive ongoing coaching with real-time modeling and feedback via home visits or telehealth.

Our certified Parent Peer Specialists use lived experience to connect with and mentor other parents. Support includes:

• Emotional support from someone who “gets it”

• Advocacy and navigation of school or clinical systems

• Guidance through the IEP or 504 process

• Support group facilitation

• Accompaniment to medical, therapy, or school appointments

This is a Medicaid-reimbursable service in Maryland and other states.

• Coordinating with ABA providers, school teams, and therapists

• Assisting with Medicaid waivers, referrals, or assessments

• Helping families secure respite care or support services
