INTRODUCTION
What is Caregiver Coaching?
Caregiver coaching is an individualized service where our occupational and speech therapists partner directly with caregivers in dedicated, one-on-one sessions. In these sessions, our clinicians provide education, training, and problem-solving opportunities to help you best support your child in the home, school, and community environments.
Coaching is a powerful tool that supports you, the caregiver, in furthering your child’s progress and increasing your confidence. It delivers meaningful outcomes whether it is performed alongside your child’s therapeutic services or as a standalone partnership.
