Parent Coaching
Empowering families to turn everyday moments into meaningful growth.
At Hispanic Autism Services of Michigan, we believe parents are their child’s most powerful teachers.
Our Parent Coaching & Training program uses the Project ImPACT model — a research-based, Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI) that blends the science of ABA with child development principles.
Through this model, we help parents build skills that strengthen their child’s communication, play, and connection during the moments that matter most — mealtime, playtime, and daily routines.
All of Our Parent Coaching Programs Involve:
- Personalized parent coaching sessions guided by a BCBA or trained clinician
- Evidence-based curriculum rooted in Project ImPACT
- Practice and feedback during real-life routines and play
- Coaching available in English and Spanish
- Progress check-ins to celebrate success and adjust goals
- Flexible scheduling (in-home or virtual)
