Unpaid Caregiver Training
An unpaid caregiver is any person (e.g., parent, family member, neighbor, friend, volunteer staff, etc.) who provides uncompensated care, training, guidance, companionship or support to the participant.
Unpaid Caregiver Training provides education and support to an unpaid caregiver of a participant with goals to increase confidence, stamina, and ability to support the participant, while also building their independence. The goals may vary as each unpaid caregiver ‘curriculum’ is individualized based on the needs of the participant. Examples include providing training on how to teach a daily living skill (e.g., brushing teeth), providing training on increasing communication with a waiver coordinator or school professionals, providing guidance on how to oversee or train a direct hire, etc.
Unpaid Caregiver Training and Support focuses on promoting harmony in the home and fostering growth and independence for both the participant and their caregiver. This service is provided virtually via ongoing weekly sessions by a BCBA or BCaBA.
