We help parents turn everyday play and routines into meaningful learning opportunities for young children.
If you're worried about your child's development or simply wish you knew more about connecting with your child through play, we can help.
Families contact us because they are looking for support with:
Helping their child meet developmental milestones for communication and play
Creating shared enjoyment with their child through connection-building activities
Confidently managing their young child's behavior through building new skills
Where to start while waiting for a diagnosis or for other services to begin
Tools for Parents.
We work directly with parents to help build skills for their child where they matter most: at home and in daily life. Sessions are collaborative, supportive, and centered on your goals, such as:
Building shared engagement
Supporting communication
Expanding play skills
Increasing flexibility and regulation
Reducing frustration
Increasing confidence
Our model is designed to build lasting skills - for both children and parents.
Using evidence-based approaches that are rooted in developmental and behavioral science, our coaching is designed to feel supportive and practical, through regularly scheduled sessions that support your child's growth.
Getting To Know Your Family: We start by understanding your child, your routines, and your priorities. We combine our experience in early intervention with your expertise as your child's parent to form a team working towards the same goals.
Live Coaching & Modeling: We provide live modeling and real-time feedback during play and everyday activities. Sessions are in-person, hour-long, and offered in weekly or biweekly increments. Most parents complete our program in 10-12 sessions.
Clear, Actionable Tools: Strategies are broken down into simple, doable steps to be used right away. The strategies we use build off of one another from session to session, and we provide resources to help you implement new strategies between visits.
Ongoing Support & Refinement: Together, we adjust strategies as your child grows and skills develop. Once the program is completed, we're always a phone call away!
Supporting communication and play skills development, one family at a time.
