Bug's early progress didn't happen in a clinic. It happened at our kitchen table.
This guide is what I wish someone had handed us on day one. It takes the principles behind the Bug Buddies learning activities — and behind ABA more broadly — and translates them into plain language for parents who want to run effective home sessions without a clinical background.
You don't need a therapy room. You need 15 minutes, your child's favorite thing, and an understanding of a few key principles that the research says actually work.
7 chapters covering everything:
Before You Begin — environment, motivation, timing, and how to read your child's regulation state
Understanding Least-to-Most Prompting — the most important skill you'll develop
Running a Session — structure, length, what to do when things go sideways
Reinforcement in Practice — finding what actually works and using it effectively
Reading the Data — what to track, what it tells you, how to share it with your team
When It's Not Working — a troubleshooting guide for the five most common problems
Growing with Your Child — mastery, generalization, what comes next
4 printable tools included:
Session Planning Template
Master Data Collection Sheet
Prompt Fading Tracker
Monthly Progress Summary
Pairs with Bug Buddies Modules 1 and 2. Works as a standalone guide for any home ABA practice.
