BCBA Continuing Education from Parenting with ABA
Resources for behavior analysts providing parent support services
Because caregiver buy-in isn’t luck. It’s a skill you can build.
Parent training is one of the most important parts of our work as behavior analysts—and one of the most complex.
If you’ve ever struggled with caregiver follow-through, resistance, or uncertainty about how to adapt plans without compromising ethics, you’re not alone.
Parenting with ABA Continuing Education provides ACE-approved CE credits specifically focused on how to support parents and caregivers with compassion, clarity, and confidence- using the science of behavior and relationship-centered practice.
You’re Not Bad at Parent Training
You just weren’t trained for it.
Most BCBAs receive little to no formal instruction on compassionate caregiver support during graduate school or supervision (Taylor, LeBlanc, & Nosik, 2019).
This gap often shows up as:
Struggling with caregiver buy-in
Plans that don't generalize
Sessions that feel draining
Tension between best practice and real life
This isn’t a personal failure.
It’s a training gap- and it deserves a better solution.
Here for you.
ABA parent training is a clinical skill.
Not an add-on. Not a soft skill. Not intuition.
Effective caregiver support requires:
Compassionate, parent-friendly communication
Flexibility without losing clinical integrity
Collaboration instead of compliance
Effective behavior-change strategies
Strong therapeutic relationships
These skills can be taught, practiced, and strengthened—just like any other clinical competency.
That's why behavior analysts need:
Parenting with ABA Continuing Education

This is not generic CE content.
It’s specialized training for BCBAs who want:
Better caregiver buy-in
Stronger collaboration
Less burnout around parent training
Tools they can use immediately
To communicate more effectively with caregivers

Meet the behavior analyst behind Parenting with ABA
Leanne Page, BCBA- LBA
Hi, I’m Leanne Page, BCBA, continuing education instructor, and the founder of Parenting with ABA.
I created this training because I’ve seen how powerful good caregiver support can be. And I’ve also seen how often behavior analysts are expected to do parent training without ever being formally taught how.
As a behavior analyst, parent coach, and author of Parenting with Science, I’ve spent years working directly with families and listening to hundreds of BCBAs talk about the same challenges:
Struggling with caregiver buy-in
Feeling stuck between best practice and real-life capacity
Wanting to be compassionate and effective
Feeling frustrated that parent support feels harder than it should
The truth is, most of us were trained extensively in behavior change for children—but not for adults. Especially adults who are stressed, overwhelmed, and doing their best.
Parenting with ABA Continuing Education exists to bridge that gap. You don’t have to figure this part of the job out alone. And you deserve training that reflects the real work you’re doing.
