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.
To schedule an appointment for an evaluation or one of our clinics, please complete our Initial Inquiry form on our Forms page. Our office will be in touch with you via email with an appointment date and list of items needed.
