Free Event Replay: The Importance of Parental Involvement in Our Practices
Recently, during a free live event, Lorianne Lacerte, speech therapist, and I had the opportunity to discuss the importance of parental involvement in our practices. We shared our experience on how we integrated this approach into our practices and the positive changes it brought.
Feeling of Powerlessness and Solution
At the heart of our discussion was the feeling of powerlessness often experienced with more traditional approaches. Indeed, we found that a parental involvement approach allowed us to see more children and note similar or even superior progress in these children. This approach emphasizes the crucial role of parents as active partners in the therapy process.
Why Parental Involvement?
Parental involvement is an approach that fosters a collaborative relationship between professionals and parents. It recognizes parents as experts on their own child and values their active participation at every stage of the therapeutic process.
Benefits of Integration
Integrating this approach into our practices has brought numerous positive changes. Not only have we been able to reach more children, but we have also observed increased parent satisfaction and greater intervention effectiveness.
How to Start
If you are wondering where to start with this approach, we shared some tips during this event:
- Establish Trust: Start by building a trusting relationship with parents and acknowledging their expertise.
- Active Listening: Actively listen to their concerns.
- Provide Resources: Offer relevant information and resources.
The Benefits of Parental Involvement
In conclusion, we discovered that parental involvement is a powerful approach that can transform how we work with children and their families. By strengthening the role of parents and fostering a collaborative relationship, we can offer more effective interventions and reach a larger number of children.
