WHAT CHANGES
Why most families choose a package
This work builds like a staircase: regulation first, then skills, then confidence through repetition. A multi-session structure gives your child time to practice, integrate, and generalize tools into daily life.
Many families notice early shifts; deeper change comes from reinforcement over time.
What happens behind the scenes
We keep sessions engaging and child-centered—
but preparation is real:
-
Review of parent intake + pattern mapping
-
Custom session planning and tool selection
-
Creating/adjusting reinforcement tools (stickers/badges/routines)
-
Home practice support when included
-
Parent coaching touchpoints for carryover
We do this because families often come to us after trying everything else.

Things to consider
-
It’s an investment of time and money
-
Parent reinforcement matters (we’ll keep it simple, not overwhelming)
-
Some kids need a slower start if they’re highly resistant
-
Groups aren’t ideal for every child (that’s why formats vary)
