Parent Support - The Talk Shop

Parent Support

Parental Involvement

Essential Support & Resources for Families

Parents are seen as indispensable members of the therapy team. Support for parents includes annual individual feedback meetings with the whole multi-disciplinary team, behaviour management counseling and structured contact with other parents if required. We also run a parent support group every second Friday at 7h30 with Barbara Bennett, our principal.

Our Coffee Mornings

Our coffee mornings called Gather are run by our Psychologist Nikki Preston. They are generally held twice a term and information regarding the dates and times will be sent out during the course of the weeks prior.

These are informal coffee mornings where parents can meet and chat in a safe and supported environment.

Hanen Courses

The Talk Shop will run a number of Hanen courses per year – these are structured sessions that occur weekly and are aimed at assisting you as parents in communicating effectively with your children.

This course is aimed at younger, less verbal children and focuses on a parent’s interaction with their child and how to optimize any and every communication attempt. This is aimed at children with more language who have difficulty with more higher order language skills such as Theory of Mind.
