No. Your child does not need a diagnosis to benefit from parent consultation.

You may be looking for support with a current challenge, want guidance on building communication or independence, or simply want to be more intentional about the skills you’re teaching at home.

You don’t have to wait for a diagnosis—or for challenges to become bigger—to start building meaningful skills.

Parent consultation can support families with children at different ages and stages of development.

Rather than focusing on age alone, we look at your child’s current skills, your family’s goals, and the areas where you’d like support—such as communication, independence, emotional regulation, problem-solving, or everyday life skills.

If you’re unsure whether my services are the right fit for your family, you’re welcome to reach out before booking.

Parent consultation can support a variety of everyday challenges and skill-building goals, including:

• Communication and expressing needs

• Emotional regulation and coping skills

• Independence and daily living skills

• Transitions and everyday routines

• Following directions and participating in family routines

• Problem-solving and flexibility

• Self-advocacy and asking for help

• Understanding patterns behind challenging behavior

• Building new skills before challenges become bigger

Support is personalized to your child’s current skills, your family’s routines, and the goals that matter most to you.

Absolutely. You don’t have to wait until something becomes a major concern to ask for support.

Parent consultation can also be proactive. We can identify skills you’d like your child to build—such as communication, independence, emotional regulation, problem-solving, or everyday life skills—and create practical ways to work on them within your family’s routines.

That’s what Skills Before Struggles is all about.

We’ll talk about your child’s strengths, your family’s routines, and the areas where you’d like support. Together, we’ll look at what may be happening, identify meaningful skills to focus on, and discuss practical strategies that fit into everyday life.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what to work on next and practical steps you can begin using at home.

No. These services are parent consultation and education, not traditional ABA therapy.

I use my training as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst to help parents better understand behavior, identify meaningful skills to teach, and use practical, evidence-based strategies in everyday life.

Sessions are parent-focused and designed to give you tools you can use within your family’s natural routines.

Every family is different. Some parents may feel confident moving forward after one consultation, while others benefit from ongoing support as they practice strategies, build new skills, and work toward their goals.

There is no required number of sessions. We’ll discuss what makes sense for your family based on your goals, progress, and the level of support you’re looking for.

No. Services are private pay and are not billed through insurance.

This allows consultations to focus on your family’s individual goals without requiring a diagnosis or insurance authorization. You can seek support proactively—whether you’re navigating a current challenge or want guidance on building meaningful skills for the future.
