- Parent Coaching & Behavioral Support
We offer both in-home and office-based coaching for families who want help managing their child’s behaviors. This type of support provides families with specific skills tailored to their needs. After an initial intake meeting with the family, we develop a customized plan to address specific behavioral concerns. This plan will include parent coaching sessions at our office, and may include targeted visits in your home.
- Office-Based Parent Coaching
A counselor or behavior specialist will meet with parents or caregivers at their BPG provider’s office to discuss and practice goal-oriented behavior interventions that support the family’s goals for home life. This is a vital component of parenting support and does not include the child in the sessions. Specific skills and strategies will be taught and role-played during this time, and may be reinforced during targeted in-home sessions (when indicated).
- In-Home Behavior Coaching
If your BPG provider determines that in-home sessions are indicated, a counselor or behavior specialist will visit the family’s home to observe the parent and child interactions and the environmental structures and home routines in place. They will try to visit when problematic behaviors typically occur. This helps the clinician better understand the challenges that occur at home, and allow them to make recommendations that are better matched to an individual family’s needs. Additional sessions in the home during which the clinician models and coaches parents in providing specific goal-oriented behavioral interventions are scheduled as needed.
