ABA Outpatient Services

Amy received her Bachelor’s degree and Master’s Degree in Special Education with a specialty in Autism from the University of Georgia and taught children with Autism in public schools for four years. She received a graduate certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis from Penn State University and is now a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Amy has been involved in the ABA/VB programs at Mitchell’s Place since August 2009.

Parent Leadership Training
What is Parent Leadership?
Parent Leadership is a strength-based approach to family support that is founded on the belief that parents are knowledgeable about their families and communities and can provide valuable insight into program and community-wide changes to benefit children and families. For both parents and providers to receive the optimal benefits of parent leadership, parents and staff must receive ongoing nurturing, support and training.
Why Parent LeadershipTraining?
Parent Leadership Training is an intensive 6-hour free training that will provide participants with hands-on experience and tools they can use, in a relaxed and fun environment. Participants will gain skills and learn strategies for collaboration to enhance their efforts to implement significant leadership initiatives within their organizations.
Who Should Participate?
Providers, programs, agencies, and communities that work with families, as well as parents who are interested in learning more about leadership roles. We encourage all agency participants to invite parents to attend the training. Limited stipends for parents in the amount of $50 are available for parents on a first-come first-serve basis.
Parent Leadership Training is being conducted by Circle of Parents, a national partner of the FRIENDS National Resource Center in partnership with JSI Research & Training Institute and the Maternal and Child Health Bureau. Sponsors include Alabama Department of Public Health/Early Childhood Comprehensive Systems Grant, Alabama Partnership for Children, Department of Child Abuse & Neglect Prevention/Children’s Trust Fund, Department of Children’s Affairs, and JSI Research & Training Institute.
Trainings are being offered from 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. at the following locations and are limited to 50 participants per training. For registration information, please visit www.smartstartalabama.org /registration
