Parents are essential in any child's therapy process from start to finish. We will collaborate together to target goals that work within your family's daily routines so you may get repetitive practice. I do my best to get to know your child: his/her preferred learning styles, how he/she handles problems, motivators, and struggles. However, I can never replace a caregiver's intuitive connection with their child. You know your child's personality and temperament best. I only have limited time with your child every week. No matter what a child is learning or practicing during therapy sessions, teaching must be practiced and reinforced routinely. Caregivers have the advantage of spending much more time with their children. And considering children typically learn best to communicate during everyday activities, in comforting environments (e.g., home), and with familiar people (i.e., family) no one is better positioned to do that than a parent.
