What is EDU Parent Coaching?
Comprehensive IEP Review
Not sure about the IEP you just signed? Don't worry, you can always ask for an addendum meeting. Before reaching out to the school, let our expert take a look are the current IEP. She will be able to offer insight and advise before meeting with the school again.
IEP/EP/504 Meeting Prep
Advocates who attend meetings with you are specifically trained and are worth every penny if you really need one.
Another option is to allow us to develop an outline for what you really want to address in your upcoming update meeting.
Laws and program vary state to state, but the federal laws are clear. We can help you take the current plan, explain it in more detail than you get from the VERY busy, overworked educators, and help you formulate your next steps.
Even if you just need advice on building a workable relationship with your child's current school, we can help.
Academic Support Packages
We will look at your child's current data, task requirements from their teacher(s), and your family's schedule and create workable study plan that meets the developmental needs of your child, meet the requirements of the teacher(s), and make homework time less painful for everyone.
Sometimes the outside perspective is really helpful and pragmatic as it can remove the emotions from the science of learning.
AND BONUS-you can blame us for your kid having to do multiplication tables on a Saturday morning.
Social Skills & Peer Inclusion Training
One of the by products of the inclusion movement is the increased struggles with social skills having a larger impact on our every day lives.
Back in the day when we were walking to school up hill in the snow barefoot, students with unique needs were hidden away in the mysterious wing behind the cafeteria. Now, these students are front and center-and often actually in the front isolated from other students because they cause distractions to the 30+ other learners in the room.
The statistics about anxiety and depression rates amongst our unique learner populations are troubling.
What can we do as caregivers to help navigate this frustrating and heartbreaking part of neurodiversity? Find out by reaching out and asking for help. You and your child are not alone in this and you don't have to be.
Parent & Caregiver Training
Each kid is different, BUT the way the brain develops is pretty linear-even in the neurodiverse multiverse.
If you find yourself at a loss and are out of ideas, we can help. And again-if you need to blame us for the loss of screen time or chocolate milk before bed, we are here for it.
Sometimes the biggest impacts can be from the smallest of changes, but when you are in it all day every day those small things become really difficult to see.
Behavior Interventions
If you need help getting your child to sit for a meal, complete any task in full, or follow multi-step directions, we can help. Using years of classroom management and aspects of ABA, we can tailor a plan that works for your home that targets the specific behaviors that are leading to you hiding in the closet to eat chocolate alone.
