The parent plays a major role in a child's progress in therapy. Specifically in the case of children with CAS, it is crucial that a parent receive adequate training and knowledge in how to carryover what is targeted in treatment into the home, since intensity of practice is key in maximizing a child's progress. I encourage parents to observe sessions when necessary and provide parent training/feedback at the end of each session to assist the parent in carrying over what was targeted during the session into the home environment. Parents of children with CAS need ongoing, continued guidance in how to help their child generalize the material learned in therapy into the home environment. Drills and repetitive practice needs to be not only incorporated into therapy but also into homework in order to maximize the child's gains. Therefore I encourage parents to become very involved in the therapy process through observation of therapy sessions, asking questions, practicing with the child in front of the therapist, in order for the therapist to provide feedback to the parent regarding the parent's approach.
