How Centria Autism Supports Families

By: Centria Autism

At Centria Autism, we believe that effective ABA therapy extends beyond the session or center. Families play a vital role in their child’s progress, and we’re here to support, guide, and empower parents and guardians every step of the way. That’s why family support is at the heart of everything we do.

Parent Engagement Sessions: Empowering You at Home

One of the key ways we support families is through our Parent Engagement Sessions. These regular, collaborative sessions are designed to help parents and caregivers feel confident reinforcing the skills their child is learning during therapy.

During these sessions, our Supervising Clinicians work with families to explain the strategies being used in therapy and explore how to carry those practices into daily life, whether at home, in the community, or at school. We provide practical guidance on how to encourage communication, support positive behaviors, and build independence using evidence-based approaches tailored to your child’s needs.

These sessions are not about formal instruction. They are about partnership. Our goal is to equip you with the tools, insights, and confidence to help your child thrive in every environment.

Daily Activity Tracker: A Window into Your Child’s Therapy Day

We’re excited to offer families a new way to stay connected and informed: the Daily Activity Tracker, a daily text message update about your child’s day in therapy.

This report shares key insights including:

  • Today’s Mood: You’ll receive a summary of your child’s overall mood, reflected through their “HRE Score” (Happy, Relaxed, and Engaged).
    • A high HRE score suggests your child had a great day, tackled challenges successfully, and stayed engaged.
    • A lower HRE score may indicate your child had a more difficult day. This isn’t necessarily a concern. It helps our team identify patterns and adjust support as needed. Some days are simply harder than others, and that’s okay. Our goal is continued growth, not perfection.
  • Daily Details: You’ll also learn about meals, toileting habits, and any materials that may need to be replenished, such as diapers or wipes.

This daily report helps bridge the gap between therapy and home life. It offers you a simple, clear way to stay in the loop and reinforce what your child is working on. It’s just one more way we’re committed to keeping families involved and informed.
