Parent Coaching & Communication Strategies
Supporting allied health professionals in effective parent coaching, particularly in early intervention and neurodivergent family dynamics.
Helping professionals feel confident in having difficult conversations—e.g., when a parent is fixated on eye contact goals, or when they’re struggling with acceptance.
