Parent Coaching

Parents and caregivers are an essential part of the therapy process and are considered to be a vital part of therapy sessions.

My goal is to partner with families through coaching and education, helping you learn practical strategies to support your child’s communication development during everyday routines and activities.

Communication growth doesn’t only happen during therapy sessions—it happens during playtime, mealtime, reading together, and throughout your child’s day. By empowering families with tools and strategies, progress can continue far beyond our time together.

During and after every therapy session, parents and caregivers will be provided with functional, applicable strategies or homework that can be implemented into family life.
