Yes, we believe that working with parents is equally, if not more important than working with the child. To begin with, we provide a list of recommendations for parents to enable them meet goals at home. The therapist and parents work as a team to bring about change. The therapist will guide the parents on how to work with the child, and also demonstrate a few examples if need be, in our observation room. If parents face any difficulties, time is set aside specifically to guide them. Also, child specific behavioral charts, checklists, and activities are provided for the child to be done at home to bring about sustainable change.

It is also important to mention that your child will receive a tailored Individualized Intervention Plan including a list of targeted objectives to track his/her progress.
