You know the details that do not always show up during an appointment: the song your child asks for on repeat, the part of the morning that feels rushed, and the way they let you know they need a break.<\/p>\n

Those everyday observations are worth sharing with your child’s ABA team. If you are wondering what to bring up at your next meeting, you do not need a perfect report or a list of clinical terms. Start with what matters to your child and your family.<\/p>\n

This guide offers conversation starters for families beginning applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy or checking in on an existing plan.<\/p>\n

Start with your child’s strengths and interests<\/h2>\n

Before getting into challenges, introduce the person behind the paperwork. What makes your child laugh? What do they choose when they have free time? What are they proud of learning?<\/p>\n

You might mention a love of trains, a favorite playground, a strong memory for songs, or the patience they show while building something. Share activities they prefer to enjoy on their own, too. An interest does not have to become a lesson to be valuable.<\/p>\n

Try opening with: \u201cHere are a few things I want you to know about who my child is.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Describe what communication looks like at home<\/h2>\n

Tell the team how your child expresses choices, asks for help, says no, or shows excitement. Include words, gestures, pictures, signs, or a communication device they already use. Mention examples that may be easy for familiar people to understand but less obvious to someone new.<\/p>\n

For example: \u201cWhen she brings me her shoes, she is usually asking to go outside,\u201d<\/em> or \u201cHe turns away when he wants a pause.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Ask how the team will recognize your child’s preferences and respond when they communicate discomfort or want to stop. Your child’s perspective belongs in the conversation, including when they communicate without speech.<\/p>\n

Choose a few everyday priorities<\/h2>\n

A long list of concerns can make it hard to know where to begin. Consider bringing two or three situations you would most like to discuss. These are starting points for a conversation, not a treatment plan you need to create yourself.<\/p>\n
