In-Home Training is defined as a related service which is intended to promote the transfer of learned skills and behavior from the school environment to the home.  The goal of In-Home training is to train the student to generalize learned skills identified in the Individualized Education Plan (IEP).

In-Home Training is a service provided to students following an In-Home Training/Parent Training Evaluation.  Parents work along with the In-Home Trainer so that practice may occur in the home with parents guiding or supervising activities.

Parent Training is designed to aid parents through participation in an array of activities to become proficient in specific positive interventions for their child.  This training might occur through a variety of interventions to include, but not limited to:

• Literature review and copies of journal articles and discussion with Parent Trainer
• Parent support groups/workshops
• Videos
• Conferncences and materials designed to increase parent knowledge of specific interventions
