Play techniques, coaching, and other methods help children adapt to their environment and relate to others more effectively.

Parents take away techniques that they can use to help their children relate better to the family at home. At your request, your child’s therapist will collaborate with teachers and counselors who are already working with your child at school.

Coaching can be provided to the child to facilitate the development of social, emotional, and behavioral skills. Additionally, parents will learn to successfully coach their children.
