Parent Coaching

Parent coaching is an important area particularly when working within the paediatric space. Let’s say that a child is asleep for 10 hours a day (we can wish) and they attend an early education setting an average of 7 hours for five days a week, if this child sees speech services for one hour per week this makes up a very small amount of their week. A child will have limited opportunities to practice what intervention is working on to achieve their goals during this time. At Glow Speech Pathology and Services we acknowledge the limitations of only being able to see children for this small amount of time and can focus on coaching parents on how to assist with intervention between visits. This will look different for each family as every individual has different goals, but we can come up with a plan together of what will work the best for your child and you as a family.
