In our practice the majority of our sessions take place in the child's home or daycare setting. Therefore, parents and caregivers are typically very involved in my sessions. I highly value parents' wishes for their child and like their feedback in order to make sure we are working on what is most functional and important for their child. I typically spend a few minutes at the beginning of our sessions discussing how the child has been doing since I last saw them, any gains or regressions, and if there is anything new the parents would like for us to work on or discuss. I like to have the parent(s) or caregiver(s) in our sessions so they can watch as I provide direct intervention, explaining what I'm doing and why, and encourage any questions from the parents and caregivers. Throughout the session and towards the end, I like to have the parent or caregiver try out some of the techniques or targets we worked on. I typically give "homework", with specific details and targets, for the family to work on in between our next session. I like parents and caregivers to feel empowered that they know what they can work on and how to work on it with their child.
