Organizational Coaching
|
Managing the overwhelming paperwork and demands of parenting a child with complex communication needs can be daunting. Organizational Coaching is a service which brings an experienced parent into your home to help you sort through all the papers, prioritize those papers and arrange them into a coherent binder of educational and medical materials. This hands on coaching can be invaluable as you work for the best treatment, IEP or educational placement for your child. We also offer assistance in using apps to track your child's medical events and needs which can help provide insight for your medical teams and track direct services on your child's IEP.
