Who we support
The Parenting Enhancement program supports parents who have intellectual and developmental disabilities.
What we teach
Our team uses a collaborative teaching method that emphasizes personalized home-based training and child-care instruction. The focus of each visit depends on the child’s age, the family’s goals and any immediate safety needs.
Topics include:
- Basic infant and childcare skills
- Home safety
- First aid
- Nutrition
- Positive parent-child interactions
- Daily routines and age-appropriate caregiving strategies
Supporting parents to build confidence and develop practical caregiving skills
The goal of this program is to help parents maintain full custody of their children or create future plans of care. Parents receive training to build safety and life skills that support family stability and child development.
Our team of therapists works alongside parents, helping them become the most self-sufficient parents they can be. We also provide service coordination, referrals, advocacy, and liaisons between families and community agencies.
Services are primarily home-based, allowing our team to better understand each family’s environment, routines and needs. Virtual support may also be available when appropriate, offering families added flexibility while ensuring in-person visits remain a core part of the program.
