Parent Training
 

DOES YOUR CHILD FAIL TO LISTEN TO YOU WHEN YOU ASK HIM OR HER TO DO SOMETHING?

We have developed a 6-session parent training program on how parents of children 2 - 12 years can teach their child to listen to requests.  Parents receive a manual, observe videos and learn about effective strategies that have proven to be effective,  The following is a sample of what is covered:

•  understanding functions of problem behaviours;
•  identifying easy and difficult requests for your child;
•  how to give effective instructions;
•  how to reinforce children following instructions,
•  teamwork

•  practicing at home

•  how to give clear warnings,
•  the use of various ways of using timeout;
•  the use of response cost;
•  the use of extinction (planned ignoring and motoring through)

•  parent develop a tentative compliance plan

•  the plan is first modeled by the clinician with the child at BI;
•  each parent practices with his/her child at BI and receives feedback;
•  development of an implementation plan

•  implement at home

•  follow up on success of plan;

•  application of ingredients to other problem behaviours

FEATURES OF THE TRAINING

•  training is based on research evidence of parent training effectiveness;
•   training is delivered by trained clinicians;
•  we encourage both parents to attend and emphasis the importance of teamwork;
•  information on ingredients to successful plans is provided and parents tailor a plan specifically for their child;
•  direct modeling and feedback of the implementation of the plan occurs with the child with problem behaviours.
•  a mastery learning approach is taken where as the parents need to demonstrate what they have learned.   You will be receiving quizzes on your learning and need to achieve a minimum score before moving ahead.   Similarly, you will not move attend to the next session until you have completed all of the homework of the previous session.
