Parent Coaching

Do you find parenting a child with sensory differences challenging? Are you and your baby struggling after NICU discharge? Do you find yourself avoiding social situations because of your child's challenges? Are family and friends questioning your parenting approach and offering advice that does not work for your child? Parent coaching can help.

Parenting is a difficult task, and parenting a child with sensory differences presents its own set of challenges. Will you be able to get through the grocery store without your child becoming upset? Will you be able to attend a family gathering without a meltdown? Will you ever be able to host a holiday dinner? These are questions that families of children with sensory differences face on a regular basis.

Parent coaching related to a child's sensory processing can help families to better understand their child's sensory processing differences, learn how to handle sensory meltdowns in a manner that is least stressful for the child and parent, educate family members and friends on a child's needs as it relates to sensory processing, determine the difference between sensory differences and behavioral difficulty, build a repertoire of proactive and reactive sensory strategies, and understand the importance of co-regulation in the parent-child relationship.
