Parent & Teacher Consultations
Parent & Teacher Consultations
Our consultations are designed to help you make sense of concerns, recommendations, or diagnoses and figure out the best path forward for your child or student.
We commonly support families and teachers when:
A child has just received a diagnosis
A parent has been told their child “needs OT” and isn’t sure what that really means
You’re unsure whether to pursue therapy, school supports, private services, or a combination
You want help understanding evaluations, reports, or recommendations
You’re looking for practical strategies to support regulation, attention, behavior, or daily routines
These consultations focus on education, problem-solving, and planning, so you leave with clarity, direction, and next steps.

What is covered under parent coaching?
Parent coaching is designed to support you — the parent.
Rather than focusing on “fixing” a child’s behavior, coaching helps you parent in a way that feels aligned with your values, your goals, and the kind of relationship you want to build with your child.
Sessions may include:
Clarifying your parenting values and long-term vision
Responding to big emotions and meltdowns in ways that feel grounded and consistent
Navigating power struggles and boundary-setting
Supporting regulation while maintaining connection
Building routines that reflect your family’s needs
Processing school feedback or outside recommendations
Strengthening your confidence in your instincts
Coaching is collaborative and reflective. We explore what’s happening, consider the developmental lens, and identify practical strategies that feel realistic for your family.
Parent coaching does not include direct treatment of the child, formal evaluation, or medical or psychological therapy. If additional services are recommended, we can help you determine appropriate next steps.
