P-ESDM Parent Coaching
P-ESDM Parent coaching, which stands for Parent-coaching Early Start Denver Model, is an intervention program designed for parents of young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This program integrates principles from developmental psychology and applied behaviour analysis to support the child’s development through naturalistic, play-based activities.
The Parent Coaching is delivered online, 1 hour a week over 12 weeks.
The Key aspects of P-ESDM Parent coaching include:
Parent Involvement:
Parents are actively involved in the intervention process, receiving training and guidance to effectively engage with their child.
Naturalistic Approach:
The coaching focuses on incorporating therapeutic activities into everyday routines and play, making the intervention more integrated into the child's life.
Developmental Focus:
The program is tailored to the child’s developmental stage and aims to foster skills such as communication, social interaction, and play.
Individualised Strategies:
Coaching is personalised based on the child’s unique strengths, challenges, and interests, ensuring that the intervention is relevant and effective.
Ongoing Support:
Parents receive continuous support and feedback from trained professionals to refine their techniques and strategies over time.
Collaborative Framework:
The program emphasises collaboration between parents and therapists to create a consistent and supportive environment for the child's development.
By equipping parents with the tools and knowledge to support their child's growth, P-ESDM Parent coaching helps to enhance developmental outcomes and improve the quality of teaching and learning developmental skills for families with children with ASD. The P-ESDM Parent coaching will be delivered online over a 12 week period in 60 minutes online sessions.
Parent Testimonial
I completed the full PESDM program with Sarah and cannot believe the impact it had on me and my family. I had severely underestimated how beneficial the meetings, strategies and support would be. Sarah was brilliant at slowly teaching me how to most effectively help my little one. In the short space of the trial, I saw my boy make huge progress.", and what's more left the program feeling confident in my skills to continue to support him.
To speak of the brilliance of the program is one thing, but to speak of the warmth, skill and commitment of Sarah is another thing altogether. I have worked with many different therapists but have never worked with anyone who is more willing to go above and beyond. As a mum of three she was brilliant at catering to our specific family needs and was constantly supporting us in managing any issues and troubleshooting solutions. I highly recommend this program.

“When we started the coaching with Sarah, our daughters vocabulary and expressive language was limited. The weekly coaching sessions from Sarah guided me in implementing the ESDM techniques in a practical setting. My daughters improvements have been phenomenal. Our daughter is now able to express how she feels, tell me where she wants to go, what she wants for dinner and being able to have a back and forth conversation with her is amazing!. We’re still using the methods coached by Sarah and continually seeing results daily in our daughter – Thank you Sarah!!”.
