What Is Parent Training?

Parent Training is an essential part of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) that teaches caregivers how to apply evidence-based strategies outside of therapy sessions. It includes coaching on behavior management, communication strategies, reinforcement systems, daily routines, and more.

At CST Academy, we don’t just work with children—we work with families. Our BCBAs guide parents through structured sessions that are individualized to match their child’s goals, challenges, and home environment. The result: more consistent care, faster progress, and greater confidence for everyone involved.

Helping You Become a Confident, Connected Advocate

Parent Training at CST Academy gives you the tools to support your child’s growth across all settings. Topics may include:
Understanding Behavior and Communication

Understanding Behavior and Communication

We help parents recognize the reasons behind their child’s behaviors—whether it’s a way of expressing needs, navigating sensory input, or responding to routines. By learning how behavior functions as a form of communication, parents are better equipped to respond with empathy and effective strategies.

Implementing ABA Strategies at Home

We provide hands-on coaching so parents can carry over evidence-based ABA techniques into their everyday routines. This includes managing challenging behavior, reinforcing positive behaviors, and using prompting strategies that match the child’s learning style.

Navigating Daily Challenges with Confidence

From mealtime struggles to bedtime routines, we guide families through common challenges by offering tailored support and proven techniques. This helps reduce frustration at home and builds a more predictable, calming environment for everyone.
