Episode #188: Parent Training with Dr. Janie Funk

Parents are an important piece of the team. Today I am talking with Dr. Janie Funk about parent training in ABA. Caregiver engagement is imperative to an individual’s success. Dr. Janie explains how her team at Behaven Kids supports parents through a strong team of clinicians with great interpersonal skills, a referral network for access to services in collaboration with other providers, and ensuring systems are in place to support caregiver concerns and questions.

Parental support is a mandated requirement for most insurance payers. Dr. Janie talks through how she meets these requirements by maximizing caregiver engagement from the beginning of the process with families, even when quantifiable minimums of these efforts may not be presented.

We also touch on children with dual diagnoses across Autism and Mental Health. At Behaven Kids, Dr. Janie has the opportunity to work within her scope of practice across this demographic and collaborate in a way that isn’t often seen in the field. “​​From outpatient therapy services to specialized day programs to medication management, Behaven Kids strives to provide the services a family needs to maximize each child and adolescent’s potential for individual success.”

Let’s keep talking about these important topics! Leave a review where you listen to podcasts to let me know what you think or want to hear next.
