From Passive to Proactive: Activating Caregivers for Better Outcomes

This presentation introduces caregiver activation as a practical framework for strengthening caregiver engagement. Drawing from activation research, attendees will learn how caregivers’ knowledge, confidence, and readiness may influence their participation in their child’s care. The presentation will describe behaviors associated with different levels of caregiver activation and examine how clinicians can tailor caregiver training strategies to each caregiver’s current strengths and support needs.

Through case examples and actionable recommendations, attendees will gain practical tools for promoting meaningful caregiver participation, supporting intervention implementation, and improving outcomes for autistic individuals and their families.
