Maladaptive behaviors can interfere with your child’s and your family’s everyday life. Whether their behavior is related to a diagnosis, underdeveloped skills, or reasons you can’t put your finger on, we are here to help. We provide practical, approachable, parent-friendly techniques to improve behavior and decrease family stress.
Behavior
Children’s behavior can be complex and, at times, overwhelming for parents. In those challenging moments, it’s difficult to see a clear path forward. We’re here to provide perspective and shift from nebulous frustration to actionable goals. Sometimes, all it takes is a single new approach to spark positive behavioral momentum. We can create a simple, realistic plan to address behavior that your whole family can confidently embrace.
Structure
Children with neurodivergence like autism or ADHD often receive the recommendation of increased “structure”. But what is it and how do we do it? Structure is a component of TEACCH, an evidenced-based framework for meeting the needs of people with autism and their families. In reality, anyone can benefit from these supports. Many of us use them daily without realizing it. Let us create the best level and type of structure for your child and home based on your unique needs.
Executive Function
This is the collection of cognitive processes that control working memory, focus, attention, planning, organization, flexibility, and emotional regulation. These skills are essential for success in learning and daily function. Executive function is especially affected by neurodivergence and can be frustrating to those dealing with it. The good news is that these skills can be strengthened with instruction and practice. We can teach executive function skills from kindergarten to college.
