FURTHER DETAILS ON THE CONNECTION KICKSTART PROGRAM:
Carolyn offers the Connection Kickstart Program which involves Early Intervention one on one Consultation Sessions with families.
The first 5-10 minutes of each session usually consists of observing a parent and child having fun playing together, doing what they normally do. This helps Carolyn to get to know your child and your style of interacting together, to best help you and your family. A few minutes of the interaction is recorded. The rest of the session consists of discussion, watching the video back to find moments and opportunities, and we end each session with a summary and concrete practical plan of action with homework that is short and effective.
What makes the Connection Kickstart Program so effective is the foundational Guided Video Practice that you will do at home. This translates everything we learn into action and reflection that takes no longer than 5-10 minutes a day (in total!) but will lead to small consistent changes over a short period to support massive gains in connection, engagement, interaction, and communication.
This approach to Coaching has been developed by Carolyn and has been trialled with numerous families who have found benefits in putting the strategies into practice effectively and quickly – leading to more efficient and targeted progress in their child’s engagement and communication.
