Positive Parent Training

At Links to Life, we know the journey doesn’t end with therapy sessions. That’s why we believe in empowering parents with the skills and strategies necessary to support their child’s development long after sessions conclude. Our comprehensive 9-week Parent Training Program equips you with practical tools to apply interventions in everyday settings—because consistency is key to lasting change.

Our Approach

At Links to Life, we believe that parents are vital partners in their child’s success. Our Positive Parent Training Program focuses on real-world, evidence-based strategies tailored to your family’s unique needs. Through weekly coaching, personalised lessons, and at-home practice, you’ll gain the skills to make meaningful changes where they matter most—at home, in the community, and in everyday life.

What Do We Offer?

This flexible program can be delivered remotely for convenience or in our clinic—it’s entirely up to you.
Developed in collaboration with the ABA Parent Training Academy and tailored by our Board Certified Behaviour Analysts (BCBAs), the course is research-based and includes literature reviews, presentations, interactive forms, parent handouts, and engaging activities.

Why Parent Training Matters

As partners in therapy, families play a crucial role. Research shows that when parents actively implement strategies at home, children maintain and build on their progress—even after formal therapy ends (Bearss et al., 2015).
