Abel Grebenik, M. A.

Just like any job or occupation, parenting is a set of skills. However, understandably, most parents recieve little or no training in developmental psychology, behavior analysis, or family therapy. This is where I can help.

Like most things we do in life, parenting is a skill. However, many parents receive little or no training in child development and behavior, developmental psychology, and learning theory. - See more at: http://www.drericar.com/coaching/#WhoShould

Through Child Behavior Consultation and Parent Coaching, I work on-site with you and your child in your home or community. Through this process you can expect me to:

Define goals and behaviors of concern for your unique child in relatable terms.
Design individualized behavioral interventions based on sound principles to...

i. Prevent problems/prompt positive behavior.

ii. Teach your child, and you, appropriate replacement skills.

iii. Manage consequences (e.g., reactions) to behavior.

Work systemically to engage all individuals who influence your childs unique behavior.
Customize and facilitate productive family meetings when appropriate.

My style is very direct, and my service is meant to be temporary to get you and your family the results you need in a minimal amount of time. Please call for a free phone consultation to determine how I can be of service to you, and your wonderful family, or with any questions you might have about my practice.
