About the Program

A service facilitates collaboration between caregivers and a clinical parent coach to acquire the necessary skills and techniques for supporting their children at home and addressing any regression experienced during the pandemic. The program involves a team of therapists specializing in various disciplines, such as occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech and language pathology, applied behaviour therapy, and psychotherapy. SMILE covers the costs for each family to complete five one-hour sessions with a professional.

How Does it Work?

Families and caregivers will have the opportunity to collaborate with a parent coach who has a background in speech, language or applied behavior analysis (ABA) to address the child's needs.
Each case will start with an intake assessment conducted by the parent coach. Each parent will get up to five, one-hour sessions per child/family which will be determined on a needs basis by the parent coach.
The aim of this program is to assist parents in learning skills to help in addressing areas of regression for their child post-pandemic.
