Our parent training & advocacy services are designed to give you the tools, confidence, and guidance to better understand and support your child.
At Autism Journey Academy, we focus on more than your child’s success in the classroom. We work with you to build practical skills and strategies that support your child’s growth at home.
Parenting a child with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) presents unique challenges that call for thoughtful, ongoing support. That is why we offer individualized support for parents to help you approach each stage of your child’s development with clarity and confidence.
Raising a child with autism often comes with a steep learning curve — not just for the child, but for the parents and entire family. The journey is filled with questions, choices, and unfamiliar territory. It is not always easy to know what steps to take or how to support your child in a way that truly meets their unique needs.
Many parents find themselves asking:
Our parent training and advocacy services offer an opportunity where you can learn practical skills, better understand your child, support their growth at home, and feel supported in the process.
These services are not about telling you how to parent, they are about helping you discover what works for your child. When families feel informed and supported, children are more likely to thrive.
Our personalized training is designed for parents and caregivers so that we can help you take a more active, informed role in your child’s growth and development.
Parent training includes structured, one-on-one guidance by experienced Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) or Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). Our training helps you better understand your child’s unique world and learn how to connect with them more effectively.
We help you understand your child’s behavior, communication style, and strengths. During your sessions with our team, we will:
One important aspect of our parent training sessions is helping you understand and apply the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) at home.
ABA therapy is a highly effective, research-based approach that we use to support students with ASD. It involves teaching behaviors and skills by breaking them down into small, manageable steps and reinforcing them through positive encouragement.
Our goal is to show you how these strategies can come to life in your own daily routines with your child.
We will guide you through the core concepts of ABA and show you how to use them meaningfully at home. Our team will help you understand:
We will also train you in the same proven ABA strategies we use in the classroom, so your child experiences consistency no matter where they are. You will learn how to apply these techniques to situations at home in various settings.
This seamless, coordinated approach helps reinforce your child’s progress and promotes growth across all areas of life, from school to home and beyond.
These training sessions are also a space for open conversation. We work with you to solve real-life challenges, answer questions, and tailor techniques to your family’s unique routines.
Advocacy is not about conflict; it is about clarity, collaboration, and standing up for what your child deserves. At AJA, we help parents become powerful partners in their child’s developmental journey.
We understand that parents of children with ASD often have to navigate a complex web of therapies, services, and support systems. It can feel overwhelming to figure out how all the pieces fit together.
Our parent advocacy services support you in making sense of it all. We help you ask the right questions, understand how to navigate your child’s services, and feel confident that their needs are supported across environments.
We provide personalized guidance to help you:
Our role is not to speak for you; it is to stand beside you.
As a parent, you know your child better than anyone. We help you build a clear understanding of autism and your child’s developmental path so that you feel confident in collaborative conversations and embrace your role as their most powerful advocate.
At Autism Journey Academy, we believe that family involvement is essential to a child’s success. When parents feel confident and supported, children gain the stability they need to grow and thrive.
That is why we prioritize building strong, collaborative partnerships with every family. Our parent training & advocacy services are tailored to ensure you are equipped and empowered to be a partner in your child’s growth.
