Parenting is hard.... but we are here to help
Parent coaching is a boutique service provided by Seedlings Pediatric Therapy. We provide professional advice on language milestones, incorporating communication strategies into daily activities, and setting up your home to support your child's development and communication success.
What does Parent coaching look like?
Parent coaching is a series of virtual or in-person consultations to provide tangible strategies for parents to help their little one communicate effectively and hit important language milestones. Our services are unique to each individual family in order to best meet your needs.
Introduction Meeting
The first meeting will take place via Zoom to gather information about your child's current level of communication, discuss any challenges, and establish goals. Initial calls will be approximately 30 minutes.
Virtual or in-person Consultation
We offer services virtually for all states, and in-person for local Minneapolis residents. Consultation services include developmental milestones, activities to incorporate into daily routines and effective play areas. We will provide education on age-appropriate toys and how to use them to increase communication skills, as well as language strategies to use during everyday activities including meal, bath, and story time. Consultations are 60 minutes.
Review and Reflection
Our last meeting will take place via Zoom to discuss progress with goals and adjust strategies as needed. Review and reflection meetings are 30 minutes.
Additional Consultations
Upon completion of the sessions listed above, additional Parent Coaching consultation meetings are available as needed.
