A collaborative approach to problem solving is at the heart of what we do. We work with you to achieve outcomes in areas of need, so you can move forward with more in your 'parent toolbox'.
Here is a snapshot of what we cover:-

- flexible play and sensory spaces in your home
- schedules that set your child and family up for success
*Please note our service is suitable for parents and carers with children age 2-12 years.
The Process
Our 1:1 parent coaching includes the following:-
- 20 minute initial phone consultation
- 60 minute in person or online consultation
- 20 minute follow-up consultation
- written summary/working plan
The process in detail
The initial 20 minute phone consultation is a great opportunity for you to share some information about your child and family, including - current needs, challenges, resources and strategies. Depending on what is required, a site visit is sometimes organised as the next step.
Based on the information shared with us in the initial consultation and the site visit, we'll do some behind the scenes work to create a written summary/working plan.
During the 60 minute consultation we get to share the written summary with you, and show you some images and examples of some of the strategies and systems. In addition, we may recommend some resources for you to source.
Next comes the fun part where over the following 6 weeks you get to try out some of the suggested strategies, and adapt them to suit your child and family.
After 6 weeks, we'll contact you to make a time that suits for the follow-up. During the follow-up we talk about what's working, and what needs to be modified.
