Caregiver Coaching
1:1 Caregiver Coaching Calls with Johanna Stadtmauer, certified speech-language pathologist and feeding therapist -
Parent life can be busy whether you are busy at work outside the home or managing the household from within. Topics and questions constantly arise and while you may have your pediatrician and mom friend groups, it is ALWAYS best to consult with a professional in the field. Ready Stadt Speech offers live coaching to families (in-person or video calls) who need guidance on how to support their child’s feeding, speech, and language development.

What is coaching?
Coaching is an interactive process that promotes a caregiver’s ability to support a child’s participation, learning, and development in everyday experiences and interactions across settings. (Rush & Shelden, 2011)
