Parent Engagement Toolkit

A quick reference guide covering three practical strategies for building stronger relationships with families: using approachable language, connecting strategies to each family's priorities, and individualizing how you teach parents — matched to how they actually take in information.

Designed to use before and after sessions: scan the relevant section before you go in, and work through the reflection prompts afterward.

What You'll Learn

• Plain-language swaps for 10 common ABA terms — what to say instead, backed by research
• A formula for tying every strategy you teach back to what the family actually cares about, with example scripts
• Three parent teaching approaches: Teaching Interaction Procedure (TIP), the power of visuals, and the teach-back method
• Reflection prompts after each session to notice what's working and what to adjust
• A quick session planner for before, during, and after sessions
