Parent Training Program (PTP)
Parent Training is one of the defining pillars of Autism Alliance. We strongly believe that parents are the real therapists, while professionals are facilitators. Our Parent Training Program is therefore designed to position parents not as observers, but as active participants within intervention.
Through our immersive 1:1:1 model — therapist, child, and parent together — parents observe, participate, practice, and learn therapeutic processes from within the therapy room itself.
The program includes support related to:
- Guided observation and participation in sessions
- Understanding therapeutic strategies and rationale
- Learning the what, how and why of activities
- Goal setting, monitoring and review orientation
- Carryover planning for home implementation
- Building therapeutic confidence in parents
Parents are gradually helped move from depending entirely on professionals toward becoming informed partners in intervention.
The larger aim is continuity of support, reduced dependency, and strengthening the family as a core therapeutic resource for the child.
Online Parent Training Program
Our Online Parent Training Program extends this philosophy from the centre into the home. Offered typically after completion of the in-person parent training phase, this model supports parents in continuing intervention with guided professional support.
Through structured live sessions, weekly Home Plans, demonstrations, theoretical orientation in simple language, and video feedback, parents are helped implement intervention meaningfully in natural home environments.
The program may include support related to:
- Weekly Home Plans and guided task demonstrations
- Goal planning, review and adjustment training
- Integrated activities across developmental domains
- Parent video feedback and professional guidance
- Home-based carryover support
- Gradual tapering of dependency through confidence building
A major aim of this model is to help parents become increasingly capable of functioning as the child’s primary support system, while continuing to have access to professional guidance as needed.
