Parent Coaching
If your child is close to meeting the milestones for their age but not quite mastering them, or if you are unsure whether your child needs speech, language, or feeding therapy, our parent coaching service may be a good fit for you!
Our parent coaching service offers an opportunity for one of our experienced Speech Pathologists to provide ongoing parent education for a designated period to cultivate and nurture speech, language, and/or feeding development within the home. This service provides us the opportunity to provide tips and strategies for the family to implement at home to promote speech, language, and/or feeding development. This service will be provided virtually or on site in your home, whichever is the agreed upon location. Upon the end of the agreed upon timeframe, the SLP and caregiver will discuss the progress to determine if milestones are being met, or if more direct therapy is recommended.
