Parent Training Isn't Failing Because You Don't Care.
It's Failing Because No One Taught You This.
Motivational Interviewing gives ABA therapists the exact language to turn resistant caregivers into active partners — without adding hours to your caseload or burning out in the process.

THE PROBLEM
You Know ABA Works.
So Why Won't Parents Do Their Part?
Caregiver non-adherence is the #1 reason treatment plans stall — and almost no BCBA training programs address it directly.
Parents nod in session — then nothing changes at home
You leave detailed instructions. You explain the science. You follow up. And still, the data comes back flat. The problem isn't knowledge. It's buy-in.
The confrontation trap: push harder, get more resistance
Most therapists instinctively increase pressure when caregivers disengage. MI teaches you why that backfires — and what to do instead.
Caregiver frustration becomes your burnout
Carrying the weight of a family's progress alone is exhausting. When parents become true partners, you stop being the only one fighting for the child.
CURRICULUM
What You'll Walk Away With
The MI Beginners MasterClass gives you a concrete, repeatable system — not theory.
1 Read the Room: Caregiver Motivation Assessment
Use the trans-theoretical model and proven measures to accurately gauge where a caregiver actually is — not where you wish they were.
2 Build Real Cooperative Relationships
Identify the specific conditions that make clinician-caregiver partnerships work — and the communication patterns that quietly destroy them.
3 Use Change Talk to Shift Resistance
Learn MI-specific language strategies that draw out a caregiver's own motivation for change — so you're not convincing, you're guiding.
4 Spot and Avoid the Relationship Traps
Dr. Monica walks you through the common clinician behaviors that accidentally create discord — and how to catch yourself before it happens.
YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Built by a BCBA Who Lived the Problem
Dr. Monica Gilbert is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and one of the few practitioners in ABA who has pursued deep specialization in Motivational Interviewing — specifically because she watched parent training fail over and over again despite excellent clinical work.
She created this course after realizing that caregiver non-adherence is the execution gap nobody in the field was talking about directly. MI is her answer to the missing piece.
