Based on the services requested, I typically arrange a home visit to assess any challenging situations and evaluate your child's current developmental skills. Following this visit, I will develop a tailored plan to address your family's specific goals and concerns. The level of support I provide will vary according to each family's individual needs.

how involved are parents?

I adopt a personal trainer approach when working with many of my parents.
