Parent Consultation
Raising a child with special needs presents unique challenges for parents. When children are struggling with emotional and psychological conditions, parents often find themselves confused and frustrated, unsure about how to handle a child’s behavior and experiencing high levels of stress from trying to cope with the situation. Therapy and treatment for psychological conditions in children has proven to be effective, but sometimes treating the child is not enough. Many parents find that they need some professional guidance to assist them in their role as parents.
Parent consultations are a way for parents to stay informed about their children’s progress in therapy and to provide support and advice to help parents better guide children who are coping with emotional issues and behaviors. Parent consultations are not therapy sessions; rather, they are a means to promote effective parenting. All consultations are personalized for each family to best meet their needs and goals. There is a broad range of issues that parent consultations can address:
Develop strategies for clear, direct, and consistent parenting while supplying a healthy, positive routine for your child;
Get answers to questions about your child’s behavior or problem area;
Learn how your child’s disability may influence and impact you and your family;
Learn how you can best help your child to realize his or her fullest potential;
Learn methods for dealing with differences in parenting approaches as a couple as well as methods for dealing with educators and other individuals involved in your child’s life.
