We provide Parent/Caregiver Coaching to families to elevate the therapy their child receives. This is a collaborative and supportive approach where parents and caregivers learn strategies to help their children achieve goals and navigate daily life.
It focuses on empowering parents and caregivers with knowledge, skills, and resources to support their child's development and well-being. This approach is personalized, solution-focused, and aims to build parents' confidence and competence in supporting their children.

How Parent Coaching works
Initial assessment and goal-setting

Education and strategy development
OTs provide guidance on child development, sensory processing, behaviour management, and self-regulation.
Skill practice and implementation
Parents practice strategies with the OT's support, gradually implementing them into daily routines.
Ongoing support and follow-up
OTs provide ongoing support to ensure parents feel confident and equipped to continue supporting their child's progress.
Your therapist provides parent coaching during and at the end of your child's therapy session. We also host parent coaching workshops — contact the office for the next one.
