Parent Coaching gives you the tools and confidence to guide your child's thinking skills day to day.
We work through specific stategies together, why they work, and how to actually use them at homework time, getting out the door in the morning, and everything in between.
​
You're trying to help, but you're not sure if what you're doing is helping, hurting, or just filling time until the next appointment.
​​
​
Maybe you've sat next to your child at the kitchen table, trying to help with homework, and watching the same meltdown happen for the third night in a row. maybe you've read the reports, sat through the meetings, and still walked away not knowing what to actually do on a Tuesday afternoon when your child shuts down.
​
Perhaps you've tried researching on your own, asking friends, reading articles, and even hiring other professionals. It's exhausting to put in all this effort and feel like you still haven't seen the change you're hoping for, both for you and your family.
Most of what's out there is written for every child, not yours. It tells you the general strategy, but not what to do when your specific child doesn't respond to it the way the article said they would — or why a strategy that worked last month suddenly stopped working.
If you are worried about where to start in supporting your child's thinking skills, or struggling to choose the right provider to add to your child's already full schedule, I have good news for you…we can start with YOU!

​
Stop guessing whether what you're doing at home is helping, and start seeing your child manage a hard moment a little better, a little more often.
​​​​
When you have a strategy that is built into your day, not one more thing added on top of it, suddenly helping your child seems manageable.
That’s exactly what we focus on in parent coaching - the moments between sessions.
​
You are the most important influence on your child's developing executive function skills. The strategies you model and use in daily moments make a bigger difference than any single hour in a session — parent coaching is how those moments get built with intention instead of trial and error.
​
This is what leads to your child finally feeling more confident and independent, and you can take a step back from all the handholding.​

Hi, I'm Jenny Traver. I've been a speech-language pathologist (CCC-SLP) and certified brain injury specialist (CBIS) for 10 years.
That means I specialize in how concussions and brain injuries affect thinking, learning, and communication.
I've spent my career working with students on the thinking skills that show up in daily life — attention, memory, planning, follow-through — and just as much time working with the parents trying to support those skills at home.
Parent coaching is built around what's actually happening with your child, explained in a way you can use that same day, with someone to ask when a strategy isn't landing and you're not sure why.
​​​​
"Wanting to help our child without having the proper background left us anxious.
When Jenny came highly recommended by a trusted advisor we felt we were on a good path to success.
We see great progress and are relieved by our son’s happiness that recovery is possible."

​
Parent Coaching gives you specific, practical strategies for your child's thinking skills, built into the moments you're already sharing with them.
-
Build small moments of practice into your child's day, without adding extra work. Identify the moments already happening (breakfast, car rides, packing a backpack) and turn them into practice, instead of adding a new task to your list.
-
Weave executive function strategies into daily routines you already have. We walk through your actual routine together and figure out where a strategy fits naturally, not where it fits in theory.
-
Gain confidence in your ability to support your child. You leave each session knowing exactly what to try next and why, instead of guessing.
-
Get ongoing, specialized guidance from an SLP and certified brain injury specialist. You have someone to bring real moments back to, not just a one-time recommendation.
-
See (and feel!) progress in everyday moments, on a daily basis. We check in on what's actually happening at home, so the plan adjusts as your child does.

"Jenny will impart wisdom and knowledge she learned through her education and experience,
instead of assuming it's over your head or not for you to know. We gained a friend and advocate."

​Not sure if this is the right step?
That's okay. A free consultation is just a conversation, no pressure and no commitment. We'll help you figure out what your child needs and whether we're the right fit.
