Parent Coaching with an Occupational Therapist & Speech-Language Pathologist
What is Parent Coaching?
Parent coaching is collaborative support that helps parents understand their child’s development and respond with confidence in everyday moments.
Rather than "fixing" children, we focus on supporting the adults who support them.
How OT and SLP Coaching is Different:
An OT + SLP lens means we look at the whole child.
We consider:
-
Sensory processing & regulation
-
Communication, language & social interaction
-
Play, routines, and daily occupations
-
Emotional development & nervous system needs
All within the context of real family life.
Who Parent Coaching is For:
-
Parents who feel stuck or unsure
-
Parents who want support without blame
-
Parents who want tools that fit their values
-
Parents who want to better understand their child
What We Work on Together:
-
Big feelings, meltdowns, and emotional regulation
-
Communication challenges and connection
-
Play skills, social interaction, and problem-solving
-
Transitions, routines, and daily stress points
-
Parent confidence, capacity, and clarity
Support is always individualized—there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.
What Coaching Looks Like:
-
Virtual sessions with an OT, SLP or both
-
Collaborative goal-setting
-
Practical strategies you can use immediately
-
Reflection, troubleshooting, and ongoing support
-
No judgment. No “perfect parenting.”
Our Approach:
Our work is grounded in:
-
Relationship-based and attachment-informed practice
-
Developmental and neurodiversity-affirming perspectives
-
Evidence-based frameworks
-
Respect for parents as the experts on their children
You don’t need more advice. You deserve thoughtful support—tailored to your child and your family.
