Course Description

Understand What Parent/Caregiver Coaching Really Means—And When It Actually Works

Are you struggling with these challenges in your pediatric feeding practice?

  • You've been told parent coaching is "essential," but you're not really sure what effective parent coaching looks like in practice
  • You want to provide family-centered care, but you're unsure how to adapt your approach for different families and cultural backgrounds
  • You're seeing inconsistent results with families and wondering if you're missing something crucial
  • You feel like you're just giving advice rather than truly empowering caregivers

You're not alone. Most clinicians receive minimal training on parent coaching despite being expected to use it as a cornerstone of feeding therapy.

What If You Could Confidently Partner with Any Family to Support Mealtime Success?

This isn't just another course about "involving parents." This is a deep dive into the art and science of parent coaching that will revolutionize how you work with families facing pediatric feeding disorder.


What You'll Learn:

  • The Foundation: Discover what parent coaching actually IS (beyond the textbook definitions) and learn to recognize when it's the right approach—and when it's not.

  • The Framework: Master the methodology that empowers caregivers through reflection and self-evaluation, leading to lasting change that extends far beyond your sessions.

  • The Individualization: Learn to honor each family's unique cultural practices, concerns, and mealtime history while guiding them toward effective strategies.

  • The Real-World Application: Stephanie shares actual case studies and parent interviews that show you exactly how to adapt coaching strategies for different families and situations.

Who This Is Perfect For:

  • Speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, registered dietitians, and other clinicians working with children with pediatric feeding challenges

  • Clinicians in early intervention

  • Clinicians who want to move beyond giving advice to truly empowering families
