At Knight ABA Consulting, we believe lasting progress happens when families are fully supported and empowered. While ABA therapy sessions focus on building skills with your child, Family Coaching takes that progress into your daily life. By giving parents and caregivers the tools, strategies and confidence to support their child outside of therapy we ensure growth continues far beyond structured sessions.
Our coaching approach is compassionate, practical and always family focused. We recognize every caregiver brings valuable insight and plays a crucial role in a child’s success. That’s why we work alongside families across Cook County, IL to create consistent support systems that bring about meaningful change.
Family Coaching is an extension of ABA therapy that focuses on training and guiding parents, guardians and caregivers to reinforce skills in daily routines and interactions. While our Behavior Technicians work directly with children during therapy sessions, coaching ensures the strategies and goals set in treatment carry over into the home, school and community.
Through coaching you’ll learn evidence based techniques to:
The result is a collaborative team based approach where caregivers feel confident in guiding their child’s growth.
