About Parent Training & Counselling

Parenting a child with developmental challenges can feel overwhelming, isolating, and uncertain. At Dr. Yasaswi’s Child Development Centre, our Parent Training & Counselling programme is designed to stand beside you – not just your child. Our specialists work closely with families to build confidence, understanding, and practical skills that make a real difference in daily life. From managing challenging behaviors to reinforcing therapy gains at home, we equip parents with the tools they need to become their child’s most powerful advocate.

Who Is This For?

  • Parents of children recently diagnosed with autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, or developmental delays
  • Families navigating challenging behavior at home or in school
  • Parents feeling stressed, burnt out, or unsure how to support their child
  • Caregivers who want to reinforce therapy goals at home
  • Families adjusting to a new diagnosis and needing guidance
  • Parents of children with feeding, sensory, or communication challenges

What to Expect

  • Step 1 – Needs Assessment: We meet with you to understand your specific concerns, your child’s diagnosis, and your family dynamic.
  • Step 2 – Personalized Training Plan: Based on your child’s therapy programme and your family’s needs, we create a tailored training plan.
  • Step 3 – Skill-Building Sessions: Through guided sessions, you learn practical strategies – behavior management, communication techniques, reinforcement methods, and sensory-friendly approaches.
  • Step 4 – Home Programme Design: We work with you to build a realistic, sustainable daily routine and home programme aligned with your child’s therapy goals.
  • Step 5 – Ongoing Support & Review: Regular check-ins allow us to track progress, troubleshoot challenges, and adjust strategies as your child grows.
