Parent Coaching
Individual or Group Parent Coaching
Raising kids is hard.
It is hard to know what to do, how to approach different situations, and what to say to set your children up for a healthy, happy future. This is compounded by confusing mixed messages from family, friends, and content creators. It is made even more complex when raising neurodivergent and/or disabled children. Many parents have shared with us that they feel lonely in their parenting journeys.
We have created our Parent Coaching programs to help.
Residents of Western Cumberland or Perry Counties: If you utilize Medical Assistance (Medicaid), we are now able to provide FREE 1-on-1 parent coaching sessions for you, due to funding from the Partnership for Better Health. This service is available to current or former TCS clients as well as those on our waitlist. Contact us to schedule!
What is Parent Coaching?
These are 1:1 opportunities to speak with one of our occupational therapists about a specific concern that you have. These are not a substitute for direct therapy services, but are a great way to learn parenting strategies or approaches that may help support your child. Parent coaching can be a great option to supplement individual therapy sessions, or can be used as a standalone service. Sessions occur via Zoom.
Examples of topics that we may assist with in individual parent coaching sessions include:
– Potty training
– Decreasing mealtime stress for selective eaters
– Accommodating sensory differences
– Decreasing demands/low-demand parenting
– Responsive parenting
– Creating a neurodiversity-affirming household
