Parent Coaching for Speech & Language Development in Edmonton
Parents and caregivers are a child's most important communication partners. Parent coaching provides practical strategies that can be woven into everyday activities to support communication development.
What Is Parent Coaching?
Rather than focusing only on what happens during a therapy appointment, parent coaching helps caregivers understand how to create communication opportunities throughout daily life.
What We May Work On
Depending on your child's goals, coaching may focus on:
-
creating opportunities for communication
-
 following your child's interests
-
 supporting back-and-forth interaction
-
 modelling language
-
 expanding what your child communicates
-
 creating opportunities for choice-making
-
 using strategies during play and routines
-
 supporting communication across everyday environments
Practical Strategies for Real Life
The goal is not to give families a long list of things to practice.
Instead, we focus on strategies that can fit naturally into your family's routines and feel manageable between appointments.
