In-Home & Parent Training

In-Home Training is a support service designed to help students apply important skills they’ve learned at school—such as behavior, self-care, communication, and social interaction—in their home environment. The goal is to reinforce and generalize existing skills, not to teach new ones or assist with academic tasks like homework or tutoring. As students begin to consistently use these skills at home, the focus of the training shifts to parents. Through guided parent training, families learn how to support and maintain their child’s progress over time.

Parent Training is another valuable service that helps families better understand their child’s unique needs and learn effective strategies to support learning at home. While parent training is not written as a formal goal in the student’s IEP, it plays a key role in helping parents become confident partners in their child’s education.
