Growing Together: Group and Parent Training at Mindful Mentality

At Mindful Mentality, we believe that therapy extends beyond the clinic walls. That's why we offer comprehensive group and parent training programs designed to empower you with the knowledge and skills to support your child's development at home and in the community

Parent Training with Our BCBA:

Our parent training program, led by our experienced Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), provides you with valuable insights and practical strategies to enhance your child's progress. Here's what you can expect:

• Individualized Approach:  We tailor our training to your specific needs and goals, taking into account your child's treatment plan, current progress, and unique challenges.

• Understanding ABA Principles:  Learn the core principles of ABA therapy, including positive reinforcement, antecedent strategies, and how to effectively address challenging behaviors.

• Skill Generalization: Discover techniques to help your child generalize skills learned in therapy to different environments and situations.

• Data Collection and Analysis:  Gain an understanding of how data is used to track progress and make informed decisions about your child's treatment plan.

• Collaboration and Support:  We foster a collaborative environment where you can ask questions, share concerns, and receive ongoing support from our BCBA.

Techniques You May Learn:

• Positive Reinforcement Strategies:  Master the art of using positive reinforcement effectively to motivate and encourage desired behaviors.

• Antecedent Interventions:  Learn how to identify and modify triggers that may lead to challenging behaviors.

• Functional Communication Training:  Discover how to teach your child alternative ways to communicate their needs and wants, reducing frustration and challenging behaviors.

• Behavior Reduction Techniques:  Acquire effective strategies for managing challenging behaviors in a positive and supportive manner.

• Mindfulness Techniques:  Learn how to incorporate mindfulness practices into your daily routine to help your child (and yourself!) regulate emotions, improve focus, and reduce stress. This may include breathing exercises, sensory activities, and mindful play.

Benefits of Parent Training:

• Consistency Across Environments:  By applying ABA principles at home, you create consistency in your child's learning environment, promoting faster progress and skill generalization.

• Enhanced Parent-Child Bond:  Learn effective communication and interaction strategies to strengthen your bond with your child.

• Increased Confidence:  Gain the knowledge and skills to confidently support your child's development and manage challenging situations.

• Empowerment and Support:  Feel empowered as an active participant in your child's therapy journey and receive ongoing support from our team.

Group Training Opportunities:

In addition to parent training, we offer group sessions for parents and caregivers to connect, share experiences, and learn from one another. These sessions provide a valuable platform for building community and receiving support from others who understand your journey.

Frequency and Focus:

The frequency and specific focus of parent and group training sessions will depend on your child's individual treatment plan, their current progress, and your specific needs. We work closely with you to create a schedule and curriculum that maximizes your learning and supports your child's success.
