Education & Family Support FAQs

What happens during a session?

Session structure varies depending on individual needs and the setting. We adapt sessions to ensure they remain engaging, supportive, and effective. But they always have structure. In general, sessions may include:
  • Observation
  • Skill-building activities

  • Parent or caregiver coaching
  • Modeling and role play
  • Academic or social-emotional exercises
  • Discussion and reflection

Who can benefit from education & family support services?

The need for support might not always be immediately evident. When deciding on whether to look for family support, areas to examine include challenges with learning, communication, or daily routines. Your concerns do not have to be dire to gain notable benefits. In fact, the best time to look for support is when you start to notice warning signs before the challenges worsen. Some common concerns families can see benefits in include:
  • Academic difficulties
  • Behavioral or emotional challenges
  • Social skill delays
  • Executive functioning struggles
  • Difficulty applying skills from school or therapies at home
  • Family conflict or communication issues

Can education and family support be an adjunct service?

Yes! In many cases, family support sessions happen in addition to other therapeutic approaches. For example, a family whose child is undergoing therapy for developmental difficulties could also participate in family support.

How long does support typically last?

Program duration varies by need. Remember, it is NOT a race to the finish line. All that matters is that you arrive there eventually. Generally speaking, growth happens gradually. Your biggest advantages will be patience and consistency. That said, support programs can range from several weeks to years-long support. It all depends on your family’s needs. We continue to provide key tools and insights to help families eventually maintain their progress independently.

Do you work with children, teens, and adults?

Yes! There is no age group that we would turn away. We have specialists experienced in early childhood up to late adulthood. We always match families with a therapist who best suits their needs and goals.

Are services covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans in California cover education-related or family-supportive services when considered medically or developmentally necessary. We know that navigating insurance coverage is at best challenging and even stressful. Our patient care team gladly works with you to help you understand your benefits and expected out-of-pocket costs.

Are virtual sessions available?

Yes! We generally encourage in-person support whenever possible due to its advantages. However, we know that family schedules can be particularly busy. So, we offer telehealth and hybrid options for families who need a flexible program or live outside our in-person service areas.
