Early Autism Intervention: Parent Coaching

Parent Coaching in the Early Start Denver Model: Tools and Tips for Family-Centered Planning, Practice, and Problem-Solving. 

This workshop is for early intervention providers or educators looking for strategies to expand their coaching skills and session style with families. Some coaching in early autism intervention can take a “do it like this,” expert-driven style that unintentionally leaves parents always looking to the provider for answers or solutions. Learn how the parent coaching practices of the Early Start Denver Model (P-ESDM; Rogers, Vismara, & Dawson, 2021) instead look to parents and caregivers as partners in deciding children’s learning goals and how to best support them with the coaching topics and ideas we share.
