Well-Being BehaviorParent training you can use for your sessions.
Twenty-four caregiver training sessions with the take-home materials already made, and the Technician Library for the people delivering the hours. Every session comes with a note skeleton that follows what you ran, so documenting takes less time and your notes stay up to date. Run them in any order, at whatever pace a family needs.
Most parent training is improvised, and the note shows it
Many payers expect caregiver training to show caregiver skill-building, not just a progress conversation. Most clinics have no curriculum for it.
So analysts build it session by session. Two people on the same team run it completely differently. And the 97156 note gets written afterward, from memory.
A note that reads "discussed progress with mom" says very little about what happened. One that names a caregiver target, an in-session rehearsal and a material sent home describes the session. The difference is not effort. It is whether anyone was handed a structure.
What every session produces
- A caregiver target, phrased as an adult behavior
- The program wording carried alongside it, in the payer's own language
- A material, printed and sent home
- A tracking sheet, returned the week after with a date on it
Each session produces these as you go, so the note describes what happened instead of being pieced together from memory afterward.
Three readers, one set of materials
Analyst pages
A page for every session. Prep, a timed core, extensions to pick by need, what to look for in what comes back, and a note skeleton to adapt to your own documentation requirements.
Family packets
The same plan in plain language, with the tracking sheets and printables built in. Fifty modules attach to it, from sleep and toileting to communication and big feelings.
The Technician Library
How to run this plan on a Tuesday. Every entry opens with the term, then what it means, then what to do, so what a technician saw gets described the same way every time it comes up.
Usually the quickest part of the conversation
- Not an EMR. Your system stays the system of record.
- No client information comes to me. Cases are codes you choose.
- Not supervision. Your own supervising clinician delivers it and keeps clinical oversight. I publish the curriculum.
- Not a treatment program. RUBI and the manualized programs are treatments with their own evidence. This is the structure around the caregiver training you already deliver, and where a family needs one of those programs, they should have it.
- Not a promise of outcomes. Nobody can honestly offer you that.
Where it comes from
Not from a committee. It was built out of parent training packets and technician session guides written for real caseloads, one family at a time, because the same documents kept getting rebuilt from scratch every month.
Written by Camille M. Galanis, a behavior analyst in New York practicing under a graduate permit and LBA supervision. Educational material for behavior analysts, not clinical advice.
Session 5, both sides
Rule out the body first. The family page and the daily tracking sheet a caregiver takes home, and the analyst page you would run it from, note skeleton included. Small enough to actually read, and it shows how the whole system fits together.

Early conversations first
The curriculum is written and the sample packets are assembled. The first clinics and analysts to use it will shape how it is delivered, so the next step right now is a fifteen minute conversation about how your team runs parent training today.
If the answer is that it is already handled, that is worth both of us knowing quickly.
