About Caregiver Coaching

What does Caregiver Coaching look like?

Joint planning: Caregiver and coach collaboratively set goals and identify routines where strategies can be used

Modeling: Coach demonstrates how to use strategies in context through Google Meet or in-home modeling

Practice with feedback: Caregiver tries the strategy while the coach offers supportive feedback through Google Meet or in-home, as well as through written feedback, emails and phone communication

Ongoing implementation: Caregiver utilizes strategies throughout the week during pre-identified daily routines

Reflection: Caregiver reflects on what worked, what felt hard, and what they noticed

Follow-up: Caregiver offers their reflections, coach tweaks strategies and we celebrate progress together

Who is a good fit for Caregiver Coaching?

This service is designed for families who want guidance to support their child’s early communication skills at home.

Caregiver coaching is a good fit if:

  • Your child is a late talker (delayed expressive language only)

  • Your child may have autism, but does not have complex medical needs or significant cognitive/developmental impairments

  • Your child has already been seen by a pediatrician or SLP who ruled out other medical or developmental concerns

  • You understand that caregivers—not the child—are the primary participants

  • You’re comfortable practicing strategies during everyday routines with my support

  • You’re eager to learn and committed to implementing the strategies 

  • Your family may already be on a waitlist for speech or language therapy with an in-network provider 

  • Your child with autism may have been discharged from speech or language therapy, and you’re looking for support to keep the progress going
