Parent Coaching–
Parent CoachingBeing a parent is among the most difficult jobs in the universe. We are called to teach, model, love, support, comfort, advise, and give discipline. Sometimes these roles conflict with each other and we are pulled in opposing directions. Add in our fast-paced environment and the impact of social media and this job can be monumentally difficult. Parent coaching provides guidance to parents and helps families consider what is going well and what challenges need to be addressed. All kids want to be successful, and parent coaching can give parents the tools to teach kids the skills and resilience they need.
Parenting a child with autism, anxiety, ADHD, and other neurological challenges adds another layer of complexity. Despite the best advice from friends, family, and others, sometimes additional tools and strategies are needed.
Lighthouse is pleased to offer parent coaching one Saturday a month. These 45-minute sessions can stand alone as one-time supports or can be on-going coaching sessions. Prior to the first session, our Social Learning Coordinator, Jolene Farmer, sends a skills inventory for parents to complete. Together with Jolene, parents will prioritize goals and decide on an action plan designed especially for their family.
Our next available session is October 20th. There is one remaining slot available on this day at 1:15pm. The next upcoming dates for coaching sessions is 11/17 from 10am to 2pm.

Transition Workshop Series Session 1Empowering Parents & Youth with Hidden Disabilities: Transition to College & Careers with Pride & Success
Your Child & the Disability Pride Framework
The transition from high school to adulthood, for children with hidden disabilities, can be challenging because people don't know they have a disability. It can be difficult to learn what accommodations they can have at work or at school, how to talk about their disability and how to speak up for themselves.
This FREE four session training, which includes the use of Lifecourse Tools, will help parents navigate this process and develop a unique Transition Action Plan with their child.
