Do your Early Intervention or parent coaching sessions feel overwhelming?

Planning and preparing for your parent coaching sessions can feel overwhelming sometimes.
It can be hard to think of how to use language strategies during play and daily routines. And explaining those strategies to parents and caregivers can be even harder.
It is difficult finding the time to look up milestones or to source appropriate checklists so you can monitor progress.
And don’t even get me started with finding the time to keep up to date with current research and best practices.

It is a lot. And it can feel overwhelming.

But it doesn’t have to feel that way.

The Early Intervention Handbook covers all of these Early Intervention topics, and more in a therapist-friendly, easy-to-use format.
So planning and delivering effective parent coaching sessions in Early Intervention is a breeze.
