Parent coaching and education

Support may include practical ideas, practice, and help carrying strategies into daily routines.

Sessions may help you:

  • Understand what may be making a routine difficult
  • Practise strategies in daily routines
  • Adapt support to family routines and capacity
  • Plan what to try between sessions

Your child may join, or the session may focus on the adults. The format depends on what is most useful.

Why supporting adults matters

The adults around a child shape daily routines. Shared understanding makes support easier to use.

School and team consultation

With family consent, consultation can help teams use practical supports that match a child’s goals.

  • Classroom or school routines

The aim is support that carries into the routines and places that matter to the child.
