You spend more time with your child than any therapist ever will — which makes you their most powerful teacher. Advance Therapy's parent coaching gives you the practical, evidence-based ABA strategies to turn everyday moments into progress, guided by a certified BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst).
With 10+ years of experience supporting families of children on the autism spectrum, we've seen it again and again: when parents are equipped, children progress faster — and progress lasts.
Parent coaching is structured, one-on-one training that teaches you how to use ABA strategies confidently in daily life — during meals, playtime, bedtime, outings, and everything in between. A certified BCBA works with you directly, models each technique, watches you practise, and gives real-time feedback until it feels natural.
It is not a lecture or a handout. It's hands-on skill-building for parents, personalized to your child, your routines, and the moments you find hardest.
How to encourage the behaviours you want to see more of — and make praise and rewards actually work.
Why challenging behaviours happen, and how to respond calmly in ways that teach rather than escalate.
Simple techniques that encourage your child to request, respond, and connect throughout the day.
Strategies for mealtimes, bedtime, transitions, toileting, and outings that reduce daily stress for the whole family.
How to reinforce what your child learns in therapy so new skills carry over to home, school, and community.
Ways to involve brothers and sisters and keep the whole household consistent.
Every plan is customized. If bedtime is your battle, we start there.
Parent coaching supports mothers, fathers, and caregivers of children on the autism spectrum or with related developmental and behavioural needs. It's an especially good fit if you:
Have a child currently in ABA therapy and want progress to continue between sessions
Are on a waitlist for services and want to start helping your child now
Feel unsure how to handle meltdowns, transitions, or communication struggles
Have a newly diagnosed child and don't know where to begin — coaching pairs naturally with early intervention
Live somewhere without local autism services — coaching works beautifully through virtual sessions
No prior knowledge of ABA is needed. We meet you exactly where you are.
Tell us about your child, your routines, and the moments you find most challenging.
A certified BCBA reviews your child's needs — often through a children's assessment — and works with you to choose meaningful family goals.
In your home or online, your BCBA teaches each strategy, demonstrates it with your child, then coaches you as you practise — with supportive, judgment-free feedback.
Between sessions you apply the strategies in daily life. We track what's working, celebrate wins, and fine-tune together.
Most parents notice a difference within the first few weeks — often in the exact routine that used to be the hardest part of the day.
You learn directly from the clinical experts who design our therapy programs — not from generic videos or worksheets.
A decade of experience translating clinical ABA into strategies that work in busy, real-world households.
Your goals, your routines, your culture, your schedule. No two coaching plans are the same.
Parenting a child with autism is hard. We coach with compassion, patience, and zero blame.
In-home or virtual, evenings included — coaching that fits family life instead of competing with it.
Skills you learn stay with your family forever — long after formal therapy hours end.
In many cases, yes. Parent training is a recognized component of ABA services, and provincial autism funding programs, private insurance, extended health benefits, and Jordan's Principle can often be applied toward it. We'll help you confirm your coverage — explore our ABA therapy funding options for more details.
