Do I have to attend my child's ABA sessions, or is parent training separate?

No. Your child’s one-on-one therapy sessions are led by a highly trained Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Parent support sessions are scheduled as separate appointments with your child’s BCBA, giving you dedicated time to learn strategies, ask questions, and practice skills without having to divide your attention.

How often will I have parent training sessions?

Parent support meetings are a recurring and required part of our program. Your BCBA will work with you to establish a meeting schedule that provides consistent guidance, opportunities for collaboration, and ongoing support.

Does insurance cover parent support meetings?

Yes. Parent support sessions are an important part of your child's ABA treatment plan and are covered by insurance. Most insurance providers require regular parent support sessions as caregiver involvement is essential for successful outcomes.

My child is making progress at the clinic but I'm not seeing it at home. Is that normal?

Yes. This is one of the most common concerns families have, especially early in therapy. Learning a new skill in one environment doesn't always mean a child will immediately use it in other places or with different people. Helping children use new skills across settings, people, and routines is called generalization, and it is an important part of the learning process. That's why Parent Support is a core part of every program at The Behavior Project. Our clinical team works closely with families to share strategies, provide coaching, and create opportunities for children to practice new skills beyond the clinic. With consistency and collaboration, skills learned during therapy become more likely to carry over into everyday life.

Does The Behavior Project work with my child's school or other therapy providers?

Yes. The Behavior Project works closely with any other provider a child is seeing. This includes speech, occupational, physical, and feeding therapists, as well as school teams. By coordinating goals and strategies, everyone is working together to support your child's progress. We regularly collaborate with schools, including Blue Valley, Shawnee Mission, Olathe and any district or educational team that partners with families.

ABA Therapy Support for Parents

A child may successfully use a skill with their RBT in the clinic, but not yet use it at home or in other settings. This is a normal part of learning called generalization. Skills need to be practiced across people, environments, and situations before they become consistent and natural.

Caregiver involvement is one of the strongest predictors of long-term progress in ABA therapy. What happens between sessions at home is just as important as what happens in the clinic, which is why parent support at The Behavior Project is built into your child’s treatment plan from the start.

The Behavior Project is designed to support you step by step, with your child’s communication, navigating challenges, and reinforcing progress in a way that fits into real life.

Our team works closely with you to focus on your child’s current goals and the same strategies being used in the clinic. You’ll learn how skills are taught through reinforcement, prompting, and fading, along with how to respond to challenges in a way that supports progress. Sessions can include modeling, guided practice, and coaching so you feel more confident applying strategies at home.

We also focus on helping you use these tools in everyday routines-meals, play, transitions, and community settings. The goal is simple: you leave each session with clear, practical steps you can use immediately to support your child’s growth outside the clinic.

Your child’s progress doesn’t happen in one place, it happens across home, school, and therapy settings. At The Behavior Project, our team works to keep those environments connected so your child experiences consistency wherever they are.

We regularly communicate with school teams across Johnson County, including Blue Valley, Shawnee Mission and Olathe school districts, as well as other Kansas City schools, to align strategies and support classroom success. Parent support also includes guidance on how to share and reinforce your child’s ABA goals with teachers, helping you become the link between everyone involved in their care.

We also collaborate with outside providers such as speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and other specialists. When goals are aligned across specialties, skills build faster and carry over more naturally into everyday life.

Starting ABA therapy is a significant decision, and it's natural to have questions or feel uncertain about what to expect. At The Behavior Project, we believe families deserve a provider they can trust-one that values collaboration, transparency, and individualized care from the very beginning.

Founded and led by Dr. Kate Lamb, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst at the doctoral level (BCBA-D), The Behavior Project is also accredited by the Behavioral Health Center of Excellence (BHCOE), an independent organization that recognizes providers who meet high standards for clinical quality and ethical care. Every child's program is designed and overseen by our clinical team, ensuring thoughtful, evidence-based treatment and ongoing support throughout their journey.

As a locally owned practice with three locations in Johnson County, the same clinicians who develop your child's treatment plan remain actively involved in their care. Over the past eight years, we've had the privilege of supporting more than 500 families across the Kansas City area and our commitment remains the same: providing compassionate, individualized care while building lasting relationships with the children and families we serve.
