Coaching, Consultation, and Advocacy

Oftentimes, it's not "just speech", but we can help!

Recognizing a need in our community, Capacity offers coaching, consultation, and advocacy which goes beyond the traditional speech therapy services, but is just as important in order to build coping, connected, and capable young children. As early childhood educators, we know that children and families have unique needs that can span all areas of development including social-emotional, self-help, and behavioral skills. We offer the benefit of creatively meeting your needs through listening, coaching, sharing resources, or helping you advocate for your child's needs within school systems and childcare settings.

Some examples include:

Helping to refresh home routines so that your days are manageable and enjoyable
- How to get through a trip to Target without a struggle.
- Make getting out the door in the morning less daunting.
- Improve bedtime and bathtime routines.
Helping navigate the world of special education within the school systems (IFSP or IEP support).
Helping families to connect to the community in order to build relationships and to help themselves be well.

These unique services are individualized to fit each family's needs outside of the typical speech/language therapy sessions. Your child does not need to demonstrate a significant delay in order for you to access support! Together, we can determine what support you need, and develop a plan.

**Please note: Some services are not considered medical speech therapy treatment, as recognized by insurance companies, but we use the same education, skills, and training to promote communication skills and support to families in the areas that are important to them. Services are always provided by an experienced, certified, and licensed speech-language pathologist.
