Nour works with parents to ensure the success of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) programs for autistic children. There needs to be consistency between the child’s behaviour plan and the methods teachers and parents use. For example, when a child is taught to use words to request items in therapy, the same approach must be applied by teachers in school and parents at home to ensure effectiveness. This enhances the child’s learning and behavioural progress, Nour explains. This requires active parental involvement.

“The program that I am working on relies a lot on consistency and without the parents’ engagement this is very difficult to do. You cannot be consistent with the work that you are doing if the parents are not engaged.”
