Parent Coaching
We help you maximize learning opportunities for your child, with a focus on developing their communication and social skills. An initial assessment of your child’s skills, interests, and areas of need guides our collaboration to support your child’s progress. Our role is to help you understand what exactly your child needs, what may be getting in their way, and how your child learns best.

Help your child learn:

Communication Skills

You want your child to successfully communicate what they want or need, and whatever else they would like to express to others. We’ll work together with you and your child to build, and continue to expand, their communication skills.

Social skills

Does your child seem uninterested in her peers? Does your child want to play with other children but have trouble knowing how? We’ll collaborate with you to help your child navigate the maze of social relationships.

Skills for everyday life

Your child may need extra help learning the skills of daily life, such as eating or getting dressed. Together, we determine exactly which skills, or parts of skills, your child’s doing well, and which ones they need help with. Then we teach you how to teach your child step by step.

You’ll learn to:
