Parent Training Notes

This printable Parent Training Notes packet turns parent training from a conversation into a practice session with data. Page 1 is a cover with quick-start steps and why the format works. Page 2 is a six-step guide to running a 45-minute meeting - open with the win, pick one skill, explain-model-rehearse-feedback, score the rehearsal, agree a tiny homework, close with the plan - plus do and skip lists and a minute-by-minute agenda. Page 3 is a one-page session record with fields for the goal in the parent's own words, what was modelled, how the rehearsal went, the home practice assignment, what was given to the family, and signatures. Page 4 is a fridge-friendly two-week home practice log with a 1 to 5 how-it-went scale. Page 5 is a 12-item parent skill checklist scored Not Yet, With Help, or Independent, covering setup, one clear instruction, five-second wait, least-to-most prompting, immediate reinforcement, first-then language, choices, neutral responses to problem behavior, and data. Page 6 lists the six barriers clinicians hear most with practical solutions, plus a barrier log. Page 7 is a 12-session progress graph with an 80% mastery criterion line, a summary section, and sign-off. Fillable, printer friendly, and built for BCBAs, RBTs, and the families they coach.
