APF's Parent Education Masterclass: Goal Selection
| This presentation explains the importance of setting meaningful and realistic goals in ABA. It describes how to assess strengths and weaknesses, identify core deficits, and prioritize goals that make the biggest difference for the child and family. It highlights phases of goal development (i.e., targeting, generalization, and maintenance) and reminds parents to ensure activities align with actual goals, not just fun tasks. Clear communication and intentional planning are emphasized. |
