What Are the Most Important Questions Parents Should Ask Their ABA Therapist During Training Sessions?

Priya Anand

PsyD, BCBA

Priya found her way into ABA through developmental psychology, and she's spent the last 13 years focused on the earliest years.

Parent training is a vital part of ABA therapy, giving families the tools to support their child’s growth outside of sessions. Asking the right questions ensures you understand the process and feel confident in applying strategies at home.

Some of the most important questions include:


  • What specific goals are we working on right now, and how are they measured?

  • How can I reinforce these skills at home or in everyday routines?

  • What strategies should I use when my child shows challenging behaviors?

  • How will progress be tracked and communicated to me regularly?

By asking these questions, parents gain clarity, strengthen collaboration with therapists, and ensure consistency across home, school, and therapy settings. This active involvement helps children generalize skills and achieve meaningful progress.
