Most "parent training" was designed for parents of young children.
The strategies focus on managing behavior, prompting compliance, and guiding the day-to-day routine.
When the person you love is 17, 22, or 35, that approach stops working.
Caregiver coaching at V.O.I.C.E. ABA is built for a different question:
How do I support the adult in my life while respecting their vision for adulthood?
We help you shift from managing to partnering.
You may be a strong fit if you're:
A parent of a teen about to graduate, head to college, or enter the workforce
A parent of a young adult who is home, stuck, or struggling, and you are not sure how to help without overstepping
A parent of an adult child where the same patterns have played out for years
A spouse, partner, or sibling stepping into a primary support role
A caregiver who wants to scaffold growth, not manage behavior
You don't need to have all the answers.
You just need to want a different dynamic.
Together, we build skills for:
Understanding the why behind your loved one's behavior, beyond labels and surface explanations
Communicating across different cognitive styles: what to say, when, and how to listen for what is not being said
Encouraging independence without overstepping, finding the line between supporting and rescuing
Navigating high-stakes conversations about college, work, housing, money, relationships, and mental health
Advocating effectively in IEP and 504 meetings, college disability offices, workplaces, and healthcare settings
Helping skills transfer from our sessions into real life
Repairing the relationship when years of conflict or intervention have left strain
Sessions follow an Adulthood Planning Consultation to develop scope of work together.
30 to 90-minute sessions, weekly or biweekly
Telehealth (Statewide - Texas) or in-person (Katy and greater Houston area)
Available in English and Spanish
Individual or family format: sometimes just you, sometimes with your loved one when it serves them
Practical and personalized: we work on the real situations in your week, not a generic curriculum
Coordinated with your loved one's services when appropriate and with their consent
V.O.I.C.E. ABA is assent-based, and that principle does not disappear when we coach caregivers.
That means:
We won't teach you to override your loved one
We won't help you push compliance
We will help you become the kind of support a grown adult actually wants in their life
If your loved one is also our client, we work in close coordination, with their consent, never around them.
Coaching, or a one time plan?
Some families want ongoing coaching, which is this service.
Others want a single, focused look at the road ahead.
If you mainly want a plan and a map of options and referrals for your loved one's adulthood, ask about our Adulthood Planning Consultation, a short engagement that produces a written plan rather than ongoing sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does my loved one need to be in services for me to receive coaching? No. Caregiver coaching is offered as a standalone service.
My adult child won't engage in services. Can you still help? Yes. Often this is exactly when caregiver coaching matters most.
Will my loved one find out what we discuss? If they are also our client, we set up coordination openly with everyone in the room. If they're not our client, your sessions are confidential within standard professional limits.
Is this covered by insurance? Currently we offer private pay with sliding-scale options. Some families bill caregiver training under medical necessity for their loved one's plan; we can talk through what's possible during a consult.
Do you offer this in Spanish? Yes. Sessions are available in English and Spanish.
Not sure if this is the right fit?
We'll talk through your situation, what you're hoping for, and whether we're the right place to start. No pressure, no commitment.
