Everyday ABA Program
Introduce Practical Skills for Everyday Life
Teach caregivers how to reduce challenging behaviors and strengthen connections through evidence-based strategies woven into daily life.
Support Meaningful Change at Home and Beyond
Learn repeatable ABA coaching strategies that equip caregivers with strategies to build stronger relationships and support their child’s independence, allowing progress to continue far beyond the clinic.
The Everyday ABA Program prepares clinicians to implement the Everyday ABA framework with families. Learners explore the theory, research and best practices of parent-mediated applied behavior analysis (ABA) and develop skills to guide families in using evidence-based strategies within daily routines. The program focuses on teaching clinicians to support reducing challenging behaviors, teach new skills and increase caregiver confidence and consistency.
Upon completion of the Everyday ABA Program, clinicians are able to deliver the Everyday ABA model consistently and effectively across all phases of treatment. Learners demonstrate the ability to use collaborative, neuroaffirming, and data-informed practices to build strong caregiver partnerships, reduce challenging behaviors, and support child independence within everyday routines. Successful completion of the Program results in the designation or title of Everyday ABA Trained Clinician.
Everyday ABA is a hybrid, mostly asynchronous, online program for clinicians that is completed at the learner’s own pace. The program includes four courses that guide clinicians through the complete Everyday ABA treatment pathway, from assessment and caregiver coaching to reassessment and discharge. After completing the self-paced modules, clinicians attend a virtual, live Capstone session focused on ensuring understanding and practical application. Learners must pass a final exam and a fidelity assessment to demonstrate understanding of the model and support accurate, consistent implementation with families.
Everyday ABA is a structured, manualized, caregiver-mediated program grounded in principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA). The program is designed to guide families in applying evidence-based strategies within everyday routines and interactions such as mealtime, play, and bedtime. By focusing on practical, real-life application, Everyday ABA supports child learning and development while reducing challenging behaviors and strengthening caregiver confidence and connection without adding stress to family life.
