At Continuum, we offer a variety of individual and group parent educational trainings. Our goal is to foster positive interactions between caregivers and children to enhance the quality of their interactions. Our families receive an initial training that discusses foundational ABA topics, how to understand behaviors and strategies to help build skills and replace challenging behaviors. After the initial training, we tailor our future goals and education based on your individual family’s needs and dive into more complex topics.
