Do we still need a therapist if we have a parent coach?
Parent coaching works best alongside direct therapy, not in place of it. Direct therapy gives your child focused clinical work; coaching teaches you how to extend that work into the 166 hours a week they're not in session. Families who combine both typically see faster, more durable progress. That said, we also work with families whose children aren't yet in formal therapy — coaching can be a strong first step.
Who delivers the coaching?
Coaching is delivered by licensed, credentialed pediatric clinicians — Occupational Therapists (OTR/L), Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA), and Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP) — depending on the track you choose.
Can grandparents or other caregivers join the sessions?
Yes — and we strongly encourage it. Many of our families include grandparents, foster and kinship caregivers, step-parents, or other adults who spend significant time with the child. Consistency across caregivers is one of the biggest accelerators of progress.
What if my child isn't formally diagnosed?
A diagnosis isn't required. Coaching is appropriate for any child where a caregiver wants concrete, evidence-based tools to support development at home — whether the concern is sensory, behavioral, language, motor, or social.
What happens after the six months?
You graduate with a personalized playbook documenting your child's techniques, what worked, and what to keep practicing. Many families choose to step down to occasional check-ins (monthly or quarterly) to refresh skills and adjust as the child grows. Others come back for a second program targeting a different track (e.g., an OT-track graduate later starts the Speech track).
In-home or virtual — which should we choose?
Both work. In-home sessions are highest-value when techniques need to fit your specific environment — a particular kitchen, bedroom, or sensory setup. Virtual sessions are excellent for families with tight schedules, multiple caregivers across locations, or who simply prefer the convenience. Most families mix both across the six months.
What if we miss a session?
Life happens. Sessions can be rescheduled with at least 24 hours' notice at no penalty. We protect the six-month arc so your coaching plan still completes on schedule.
