Parent coaching sessions are provided as part of therapy programs or as separate virtual 1-1 sessions for parents and caregivers seeking professional advice, support, and resources related to facial, feeding, breathing, language, and speech development.

Coaching sessions are strictly educational in nature and not child therapy.

Parent coaching is a form of indirect intervention that supports parents and caregivers in improving their child's skills and abilities in specific areas of development and has been shown to be one of the most effective methods in creating positive long-lasting outcomes (Ragni et al., 2022).  Instead of relying on a therapist, you will be empowered through education and training on the principles of feeding and orofacial development and learn how to navigate your child's specific difficulties so you are equipped in nurturing their feeding skills and orofacial health now and for years to come

Components of parent coaching 

• Education on the principles of feeding and oral facial development as they relate to your child. 
• Address specific questions related to your child’s feeding and oral facial development.
• Learn effective techniques to address a variety of concerns, such as: 

                                  -ways to reduce mealtime stress

                                  -how to encourage your child to try new foods

                                  -how to support optimal, oral facial health

                                  -and more! 

• Receive helpful resources and materials related to your child’s specific needs.
• Guidance on how to address concerns with your child’s doctor. 
• Referrals to other healthcare providers when needed as part of an interdisciplinary team. 

Parent Coaching Sessions are offered individually or as part of a Structured Early Intervention Program called TINY MYO. Parent coaching sessions do not include a Myofunctional Toolbox.

Parent Coaching sessions are 60-minutes in length and the cost is $400.  (Telehealth session with Licensed Speech Pathologist, Clinical Case Review, session planning and preparation of provided resources and research for your specific case or concerns)
