Introduction:

Watching your child grow and learn is one of the most rewarding parts of the therapy journey. At Beyond The Spectrum ABA Therapy (BTS), we believe in transparency and partnership with families.

Below, we answer some of the most common questions about parent observation so you know exactly what to expect.

Can I Observe My Child’s Therapy Sessions?

Yes! We welcome parents and caregivers to observe sessions. You can either schedule your observation through our Office Manager or walk in during regular business hours. All observers must sign a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement before entering the parent viewing room.

How Do I Schedule an Observation?

If you prefer to schedule in advance, simply call or email our Office Manager. They will help you select a convenient time and guide you through any necessary paperwork.

Will I Be Able to Watch in Person or Remotely?

At Beyond The Spectrum ABA Therapy (BTS), all observations take place in person in our comfortable parent viewing room. Remote observation is not offered, as we prioritize confidentiality, security, and in-person engagement.

What Is the Parent Viewing Room Like?

Our parent viewing room is designed to be a welcoming, relaxing space. You will watch your child’s session live on wall-mounted TV monitors that securely stream video from the therapy rooms.

While you view, you can:

  • Sit comfortably in a quiet area
  • Enjoy complimentary coffee, water, or soft drinks
  • Have light refreshments available during your visit

This setup allows you to stay connected and relaxed while you observe your child’s progress.

Why Do I Need to Sign a Confidentiality Agreement?

Because we serve multiple children and families, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements are required. While we make observation possible for you, we are equally committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of all our other clients and staff.

These agreements ensure that:

  • All families’ privacy is respected
  • BTS remains compliant with HIPAA regulations
  • Observers may not record, video, or take pictures of any sessions
  • Observers may not discuss or disclose any information about other children or staff

By signing, you agree to maintain confidentiality at all times and help us create a professional, secure environment for every family.

Can I Bring Other Family Members to Observe?

Generally, only parents and primary caregivers are permitted to observe.

What Should I Expect During an Observation?

You’ll see:

  • Your child working on individualized goals
  • Therapists using reinforcement and teaching strategies
  • Data collection in real time

While you are observing, we encourage you to:

  • Take notes on strategies and prompts you might like to try at home
  • Notice how your child responds to different teaching approaches
  • Reflect on any questions or insights you would like to discuss afterward

Observing sessions is a great opportunity to learn skills you can reinforce at home and to gain a deeper understanding of your child’s strengths and needs.

Conclusion:

At Beyond The Spectrum ABA Therapy (BTS), we value your partnership. Observing therapy sessions is a wonderful way to stay engaged and support your child’s growth while protecting every family’s privacy.
