How is parent training included in behaviour therapy?

Parent training is a vital part of behaviour therapy under the NDIS. Therapists don’t just work with the child—they also coach parents on how to apply strategies at home, respond consistently to behaviours, and support long-term skill development. Training may involve live demonstrations, video modelling, behaviour support handouts, and joint goal-setting.

NDIS recognises the importance of family capacity-building, and funding for parent training is often included in the “Improved Relationships” or “Capacity Building” support categories. Empowering parents ensures that progress continues between sessions and across all parts of the child’s life.
