In-home coaching to assist with day-to-day routines, organization, discipline, and other skills is available in combination with follow-up telephone coaching. In this case, the client may choose the length of time of the in-home coaching. Telephone coaching of at least 4 weeks after the in-home coaching is a required component of this service in order to assure that parents receive the proper support to maintain changes and continue moving in the direction of their goals.

Group coaching can be a very effective means for parents who share common issues ~ i.e., newborns, toddlers, challenging teenagers, specific disabilities ~ to receive support and learn from one another through the process. Group coaching requires a group of at least 4 parents/couples, and the cost of coaching is shared among the participants, making it a great value.  Group coaching may be arranged on personal basis or through an agency or organization.
