Parent and Caregiver Training
Practical strategies for your everyday routines
Parent and caregiver training helps you understand the teaching plan and use strategies in ways that fit your family. You can bring questions about communication, transitions, play, toileting, or behaviours that make daily routines difficult.
What we can work on together
Training may focus on recognizing communication opportunities, supporting requests for help or breaks, using visual schedules, preparing for transitions, teaching daily living skills, and responding consistently to behaviours identified in the child's support plan.
We also help caregivers create manageable practice opportunities and notice progress beyond the therapy session.
- Communication opportunities
- Requests for help or breaks
- Visual schedules
- Preparing for transitions
- Daily living skills
- Consistent responses
Learn through guided practice
We explain the strategy and demonstrate it, then give you an opportunity to practice. Feedback focuses on what worked and what to adjust. Written steps or simple visual materials may help you use the strategy between appointments.
Training can involve parents and other caregivers participating in the child's care, with appropriate consent. Session format and location are discussed during intake.
- Explain the strategy
- Demonstrate in context
- Guided practice
- Clear feedback
- Written or visual steps
- Caregiver participation
A realistic plan for your household
We begin with a routine you want to improve and choose steps you can maintain. Your family's schedule, language, culture, and available support matter when planning practice.
Our aim is to help you understand the purpose of each strategy and feel more confident using it. We review implementation and the child's response rather than expecting you to manage everything at once.
- Start with one routine
- Maintainable steps
- Family schedule fit
- Language and culture
- Build confidence
- Review what works
Start with one priority
Tell us which part of the day feels most challenging and what you would like your child to do more independently. We can use that conversation to identify a starting point.
- Name the hard part of the day
- Choose an independence goal
- Identify a starting point
- Plan the first practice steps
