What is OASIS Parent Training?
The OASIS Parent Training Program (offered in English and Spanish) is a 16-24 week long program. During the program, you will complete web-based informational modules, and you and your child will attend weekly sessions in-person or via telehealth with an OASIS Parent Coach. You will:
- Learn to apply evidence-based skills with your child
- Receive instruction and support on how to promote independence, gain compliance, and teach your child appropriate replacement skills for problem behaviors
- Learn strategies to advance your child’s social and academic skills, encourage generalization of new skills, and maintain learned skills.
- Learn techniques on developing effective methods of interacting and playing with your child.
What to expect during the weekly, hour-long sessions:
The OASIS Coach will:
- Review the online information and answer questions
- Provide suggestions for activities to do with your child during the session
