Caregiver Consultations

Using a structured coaching-based framework drawn from (Occupational Performance Coaching), your therapist will guide you to develop goals (that support your child), and help you realise your potential as a caregiver. This framework is grounded in self-determination theory and is evidenced to enable children's participation across their environments. You as the caregiver will identify the areas you would like to address and with some guidance, develop and apply your own strategies that lead to increased parent self-efficacy and improve occupational performance/participation of your child. We highly recommend this approach developed by Dr. Fiona Graham as it has good evidence for both in-person and can be successfully delivered through telehealth. We recommended 4 to 8 sessions weekly or fortnightly.
