In this episode, I’m joined by Mandy Grass to discuss parent training and why making behavior science accessible is not optional - it’s essential. We dig into what “parent training” really means, common misconceptions about ABA, and the barriers that often prevent families from getting buy-in. Mandy shares how professionals can translate complex concepts into language that feels usable (not overwhelming) and how to collaborate with parents in ways that are socially significant to them. Mandy Grass is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and a mother with over a decade of experience in education, and she regularly shares practical strategies and ideas for families and professionals on her page, The Family Behaviorist. This episode is full of actionable takeaways to bring to any form of leadership and training.
