What is Parent Coaching?

Virtual parent coaching helps you gain knowledge and practical strategies to support your child’s development and manage challenges you are experiencing in daily life. I listen to your concerns and provide education on best practices, strategies, activity ideas, and tips drawn from my experience as a licensed pediatric occupational therapist.

Virtual parent coaching is not occupational therapy and is not a replacement for direct OT services. It does not include an OT evaluation or treatment, personalized therapeutic recommendations, home exercise programs, or sensory diets,

Virtual parent coaching does provide valuable knowledge on a variety of topics, including:

• Tips to build independence and executive functioning skills

• General education on sensory processing and how it can impact a child’s regulation

• Best practices to manage picky eating and build a positive relationship with food

• Ideas for establishing routines (after school, bedtime, chores, etc.)

• Recommended play activities, games, books, and resources

• Ideas for improving frustration tolerance and teaching positive coping skills

• Tips to manage screen time and build a healthy routine

• Best practices to support your child’s development

Virtual parent coaching is a great option if you are on a waitlist to receive direct OT services and you would like some general suggestions to implement now!
