What is parent coaching?
Parent coaching sessions can involve one or multiple caregivers and are typically scheduled for 1 hour, 2-4 times per month. These sessions are individualized based on the parent or caregiver’s values and needs. These sessions start with an initial interview and goal setting; then subsequent sessions involve consultation for personal goals, answering questions, and addressing concerns regarding their child’s needs or behavior. Goals for these sessions will be to teach parents and caregivers strategies to increase their confidence in teaching new skills and managing behavior with the aim of decreasing their level of stress.
Can I share strategies with other people?
Yes! I can write a behavior support plan that can be shared with teachers or other caregivers. Providing strategies to other people in your child’s life will help create consistency and aid in teaching new skills or decreasing challenging behaviors.

What is behavior analysis?
Behavior analysis is a science studying how behavior is influenced by the environment that focuses on learning principles to understand, predict, and change actions to improve lives. ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is a therapy based on the science of behavior. It is used to teach a wide range of skills, including communication, socialization, self-help, and academic skills.
Behavior analysis helps us to understand:
-
How behavior works
-
How behavior is affected by the environment
-
How learning takes place
ABA therapy applies our understanding of how behavior works to real situations. The goal is to increase behaviors that are helpful and decrease behaviors that are harmful or affect learning. ABA should be a flexible treatment adapted to individual needs and preferences.
