We retain more and acquire an abundance of knowledge when in community with others. What better way to bounce ideas off of one another, and learn the same programs that are used during private therapy with you child than to come together to support one another, but from the COMFORT OF YOUR OWN HOME!
Sessions will be lead by a highly experienced and nuanced clinician who embraces the magic and diversity of Autism, while possessing the clinically systematic knowledge of Applied Behavior Analysis. Crystal Wissinger, M.S., LBA, BCBA will lead you through a 1-hour training based on different behavior intervention techniques.
Cost is FREE for current patients and $30 for new families or members of the larger Maryland community. Additional family members are welcome and encouraged to come to trainings. A $30 cost for additional family members will be due for ALL attendees.

Being 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.
