Your BCBA keeps saying "practice at home" but never tells you HOW 😅

Here's the truth: You don't need to become a therapist or turn your living room into a clinic.
You just need to know how to use the moments you're already living to reinforce what your child is learning in therapy.

✨ Build consistency
✨ Turn routines into learning
✨ Make reinforcement work
✨ Avoid common mistakes
✨ Focus on progress, not perfection

I could see it in his eyes. He wasn't climbing because he needed to get somewhere. He was climbing to get a reaction out of me.

And my first instinct? Yell "No! Get down! That's not safe!"
But here's the thing, that's exactly what he wanted. My attention. My big reaction. Mission accomplished (for him).

So I had to do something that felt completely unnatural: stay calm.

Here's What I Did Instead:
✅ Ignored the unsafe behavior (while still keeping him safe — I wasn't leaving the room)
✅ Modeled what he should do: "Sit on your bottom!"
✅ Praised him big when he actually did it 🙌🏽

Was it easy? No. Every parent bone in my body wanted to react immediately. But the more I stay consistent with this, the less he does it. Because he's learning unsafe behavior doesn't get him what he wants. Safe behavior does.

This only works if the behavior is for attention. If he's climbing for sensory input, to escape something, or to access an item that's a whole different strategy.

Have you ever caught your toddler doing something unsafe just to get your attention? How did you handle it?

Did you know that you CAN do your everyday chores and still create teaching moments for your child?! Crazy, I know!

And guess what?

If they already have imitation skills, then this is even more important! And.. they may learn even more than just sitting down repeating the same stuff over and over!

Remember that your therapists may only see your child for 2-3 hours a day, but you are with them ALL THE TIME, you are their best teachers.

Follow us for more tips and how to teach them naturally and with their favorite person = YOU!

We involve him in as many activities as we can (time permitting) and by buying toys like this leaf blower like his dad (or vacuum), we can teach him functional pretend play and imitation skills that he enjoys because “mom or dad do it”!

We start out by getting some pretend toys that match what we do as a family: Vacuum, coffee machine, kitchen, mop, garden tools (more links in bio), and then we do our chores but have him watch and get dirty with us!

Yes, the first few times it can be messy and he may just want to play with the items, but slowly we teach him what we do and now he can just get his pretend toys and do it with us. It allows us to be able to get things done, teach him in the moment, and not feel burned out throughout the day.

LLC? S-Corp? Sole proprietor? If these words make your brain hurt, you’re not alone. 😅

One of the most confusing parts of starting your own BCBA practice is figuring out how to actually register your business and which structure makes sense for you.

Do you need an LLC? Should you be an S-Corp? What’s the difference, and why does it even matter?

We break it all down in this module, just clear explanations of your options and what might work best for your situation.

If you’ve been stuck on this step, comment “Register” below and we’ll send you the link.

Is ABA therapy harmful?

The answer isn’t black and white and parents deserve honest answers, not pressure.

What matters most is how therapy is done, not just what it’s called.

Follow for real, balanced education on autism + therapy.

Module 2, Lesson 1

The hardest part of starting your own BCBA business? It’s not the clinical work. 💡

It’s figuring out how to take payments, what forms you need, how to onboard clients, and all the boring administrative stuff that no one prepares you for in grad school.

We created a course that covers exactly that, the unsexy but essential business foundations you need to actually get started and take on clients.

If the “business side” has been holding you back, comment “PAPERWORK” and we’ll send you the link to get started.

If your child isn’t “listening” right now… please don’t give up. 💛
When we first started soccer, it was rough. He ran the opposite direction. Cried when the ball got wet. Flopped to the floor. Got overwhelmed by the noise. Couldn’t follow the coach.

But 7 months later? He’s listening, following the routine, participating, and actually enjoying himself. 🥹⚽️
This didn’t happen overnight.

It happened because we kept showing up. 1–2 times a week. Even on the hard days. Even when it felt like we weren’t making progress.

Progress with our kids is rarely a straight line. Some days feel like a win. Some feel like we’re back at square one. But little by little, those moments add up.

So if your child is struggling with listening, transitions, sensory stuff, or staying with the group, you’re not alone. It does get better when we keep going. 🤍
Tiny steps count. Keep showing up.

I will never stop talking about imitation skills because honestly, they’re one of the most underrated parts of development.

Imitation isn’t just cute. It’s how kids learn routines, communication, play, and independence.

In this video, he imitates me 6 times in under a minute just to brush his teeth. And that’s only one routine! Throughout the day, we do this at least 20+ times. Hand washing, getting dressed, cleaning up, playing.

Imitation is one of the strongest building blocks for helping kids become confident and capable. The little moments matter. These tiny repetitions add up to big wins. 🤍

💬 What’s one thing your child loves to copy? Or struggles to imitate? Let me know!
