The Cost of Missed Opportunities
While you may be achieving some success with your current approach to parent engagement, failing to prioritize and refine your collaborative skills can lead to missed opportunities and significant challenges:
Slower Client Progress: Inconsistent implementation of strategies at home can hinder a child's progress and limit their ability to generalize skills to new environments.
Strained Relationships: Communication breakdowns, misunderstandings, and a lack of shared understanding can create tension and frustration between BCBAs® and families.
Reduced Treatment Fidelity: Without active parent involvement, it becomes challenging to ensure that interventions are implemented consistently and correctly outside of therapy sessions.
Increased Stress and Burnout: Navigating parent concerns and managing challenging situations without the right tools can lead to increased stress and burnout for BCBAs®.
Don't let these challenges hold you back. Invest in your skills and transform your approach to parent engagement.
