Parent Coaching and Follow Up with Michelle Midgette, MA (Certified ADHD Parent Coach, Certified “Calm and Connected” Parent Coach)

When your child is diagnosed with ADHD, a learning issue, or a chronic condition that impacts  his or her functioning, both school and home life are impacted. An evaluation is just the first step in a new journey for your child that includes parents and caregivers as well. Parent coaching can help families process their child’s diagnosis and create a pro-active plan for moving forward in their “new normal” and helping their child succeed. 

Michelle provides a non-judgmental space for parents to process their children’s special needs, learn about their children’s learning and behavioral issues, and make a plan for how their family will be a source of calm, connectedness, and support. 

Coaching sessions are bundled in packages of three one-hour sessions for $300. A complimentary 30 minute phone consult will help us connect and get to know each other while establishing the concrete goals we will work on together.
