Guidance on understanding ABA therapy and your role in your child’s success
This training helps families understand what ABA therapy can look like and offers simple, supportive guidance for getting started. Beginning ABA can feel like a big step, and this course is designed to make the process easier and more reassuring. Led by Morgan van Diepen, a board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA) with over 15 years of experience and creator of BIP Visualized, the training introduces ABA as a collaborative and individualized approach focused on your child’s strengths and meaningful goals.
