The Intentional Caregiver Coaching Visit

With the children we work with, developmental change occurs primarily during everyday caregiver interactions. Brain science tells us that positive caregiver-child interactions lead to better development outcomes. A child's ability to learn, engage, participate, and become independent is influenced by the skills of caregivers. As early intervention therapists/teachers, it's our job to coach positive caregiver abilities, skills, and habits to help them feel more confident and successful in supporting their child's development during everyday family life. This course will provide you with a practice map for increasing the potential for successful "follow through" of early intervention strategies, techniques, activities, and tools.

The content of this program is germane to children, students and clients ages 0-5.

Target Audience: Physical Therapists, Physical Therapist Assistants, Occupational Therapists, Occupational Therapy Assistants, Speech-Language Pathologists
