In the second of a two-part webinar series, we will further discuss the role of parent coaching within therapeutic intervention. We will highlight specific coaching strategies that support the parent-child dyad while simultaneously working towards the child’s treatment goals. We will examine considerations and rationale for choosing the most appropriate strategies to use and how they are best implemented. Clinicians of all disciplines can learn to integrate parent coaching into their therapeutic work ensuring that children benefit from their clinical knowledge and expertise and parents feel empowered and confident to support them at home.
