Environmental Analysis

Description

A child’s environment has huge impact on his/her development and behaviour. It contains both measurable and unmeasurable benefits or detriment.

Parents can and should be consciously aware of the environment they are providing and subsecquently, any environment their child spends a considerable amount of time in.

I will come, in person, to your home and strategically analyze any of the following environmental factors: physical, emotional, educational, or developmental. I am not there to critique or judge, rather enhance or contribute – no one is perfect, after all.

After recommended modules are complete, parents can feel confident they are providing an environment conducive to their child thriving.

Individual Behaviour Plans

Description

Each family, child and parenting team is different and unique. An Individual Behaviour Plan is customized to the individual family. Through our conversations, we will target and isolate priority behaviours, environmental factors, developmental milestones, etc. Strategies and protocols for each will then be developed and implemented.

Features

All modules are recommended for Individual Behaviour Plans depending on the family’s needs. The order and frequency of module implementation will be determined together based on priorities. Please visit the “Modules” page for a full list of available Modules.

As a family’s support requirements change and evolve, question and answer sessions are always available upon request.

Benefits

Individual Plans will  give parents ultimate understanding of  a wholistic approach to parenting and specific strategies for their own child. Regularly sheduled appointments keep families on track and current.

Price

Developmental Review & Planning

Description

Milestones and developmental checklists can be broad and sometimes confusing. It can be hard to know exactly where your child fits in. Maybe you feel that he/she is behind… or ahead, or hits some of the marks but not others. I will assess where your child is at and make recommendations to further development. 

Features

In addition to an assessment and development plan, all modules are recommended. The order and frequency of module implementation will be determined together based on priorities. Developmental Modules include but are not limited to the following:

Speaking about your child’s development can be hard. Because Owl’s Nest is a discreet and private service where confidentiality is taken very seriously, parents can rest assured that all their privacy wishes will be met.

Keeping up to date and on track with development not only informs parents but also sets your child up for success. Providing age appropriate materials, embedding learning into your everyday and knowing the next steps prepares parents and children.

An individual assessment will leave parents feeling informed about where their child is at. In a case where deficits or “flags” are found, referals will be made to consult with qualified professionals such as Therapists or General/Pediatric Practitioners. Proceeding with recommendations is at your discretion and is not an obligation – it is  your choice.

 

Price

$100 per 1 hour session.

Self and

Co-Regulation

Description

Each person has his/her own set of self-regulation skills and strategies – also known as coping mechanisms. By starting out early with children, identifying feelings and attaching them to regulation strategies, we set them up to have strong coping mechanisms for the rest of their lives – this is an essential life skill. With challenges such as ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, etcetera on the rise, we need to place high value on these skills. A child’s self regulation journey begins with Co-Regulation (when a care giver facilitates self-regulation). Co-Regulation is eventually faded out.

In our sessions parents will learn how to identify their children’s needs and implement regulation strategies. Indroducing self-regulation awareness and practices into your home can have tremendous, life changing effects.

Features

The order and frequency of module implementation will be determined together based on priorities.  include but are not limited to the following:

  1. Self and Co-Regulation
  2. Sensory Needs
  3. Image of a Child

  14. School Readiness

Please visit the “Modules” page for more modules.

As a family’s support requirements change and evolve, appointments are available upon request.

Benefits

The benefits of a person gaining self regulation (coping) strategies and skills is paramount and often immeasurable. Although each individual is different, early identification and implementation of strategies sets a child up to feel confident, happy, and fulfilled. Carrying these skills through life decreases a person’s likelihood of experiencing the inability to cope as well as medical struggles such as anxiety or depression.

Price

$100 per 1 hour session.
