Parent Consultations
Parent consultations can be utilized to help caregivers learn ways to respond to problematic behaviors in productive ways and understand what these behaviors may be trying to communicate. For caregivers who have a child engaged in therapy, parent-only consultations ensure that parents and caregivers remain informed about their child's therapy sessions and how they can best support their child to reach their therapeutic goals. This is also a space for caregivers to give the therapist feedback about how therapy seems to be impacting the child outside of sessions and discuss any questions/concerns that may come up throughout the process. Parent consultations are scheduled once a month or on an as needed basis.
