Calibrate ABA
Make Lasting Change at Home
Transform dangerous behaviors into safer, more connected family environments with proven ABA strategies.
Improve Family Dynamics by Reducing Dangerous Behavior
Using parent-mediated ABA strategies, you’ll learn how to coach families and caregivers to reduce dangerous behaviors in children with autism and other I/DDs, helping them to feel more confident in their care at home.
The Calibrate ABA Program equips learners with essential skills to coach caregivers on evidence-based procedures for reducing dangerous or severe behaviors in developmentally disabled youth. Learners develop skills to collaborate with caregivers in creating and implementing effective behavior support plans. The goal is to reduce behaviors that may cause injury or involve law enforcement, helping ensure the safety and well-being of youth and their families.
Successfully teach caregivers to implement function-specific behavioral strategies to decrease dangerous or severe behaviors while also guiding them in the effective use of a Behavior Support Plan.
Calibrate is an asynchronous, online course that learners complete at their own pace, focusing on key behavioral concepts and practical application of Calibrate tools. The coursework concludes with a live virtual capstone session centered on applied learning, followed by a fidelity review in which learners develop and submit a behavioral support plan and receive feedback to support accurate and consistent use in practice.
Calibrate ABA is a parent-mediated intervention based in the evidence-based procedures of applied behavior analysis (ABA), specifically designed to address dangerous or severe behaviors in children, youth, and adults with autism or other developmental disabilities. Calibrate equips caregivers with the tools and strategies needed to reduce high-risk behaviors, creating a safer, more supportive environment for their loved ones.
