Coaching

Empowering parents and clinicians through skilled coaching and consulting.

For Parents

Online coaching and consultation sessions are a convenient way to connect with a neurodiversity affirming therapist and to learn more about gestalt language processing. 

Parent coaching and consultation is different than direct therapy. These sessions are focused on providing support and education to CAREGIVERS on strategies that can be implemented in your everyday life. During these sessions I will not be interacting with your child or be able to provide specific assessment or analysis of your child’s language skills. These sessions are 45 minutes in length, then you will receive a brief written summary of the session. Each consultation is unique to the needs of the parent/caregivers attending. Please fill out the inquiry form below and we will get back to you about setting up a parent coaching session.

*Please note that these sessions are only available to families who are NOT receiving direct therapy from Abbey Massar, SLP. 

For Clinicians

Clinician consultation is a great way to further your knowledge and understanding of neurodiversity affirming therapy as well as working with GLPs. This time can be used towards professional development. For ACSLPA SLPs, our discussion can be referenced when completing your continuing competencies for licence renewal. Each consultation is unique to the needs of the clinician and their pre-existing knowledge of NLA.

Some areas that you may seek support or guidance on are:

  • Brainstorming and advising you on neurodiversity affirming strategies that can be implement within your therapy.

  • Discussion and overview of Natural Language Acquisition and strategies for working with Gestalt Language Processors.

  • General guidance around language analysis and scoring.

  • Consultation around client case studies (while ensuring that no names or identifying information is shared to maintain confidentiality). 

  • Any other questions you may have about NDA therapy or GLP.
