Battle or Bypass? ABA Scenario Cards for Parent Training – Boost Engagement, Track Data, and Promote Skill Generalization

This digital resource includes a set of “Battle or Bypass?” scenario cards designed for BCBAs to use during parent training sessions with caregivers. The cards present common behavioral situations, prompting caregivers to decide when to engage in a behavior management strategy (“battle”) and when to allow the situation to pass (“bypass”). This activity helps increase caregiver engagement by encouraging reflection on parenting decisions, enhances skill generalization by applying the concepts to real-life situations, and provides valuable data for tracking caregiver progress and understanding. It is a powerful tool to improve decision-making skills and foster collaboration in creating individualized treatment goals.
