Wherever you are, start here
A new diagnosis
You have a report, a list of recommendations, and a lot of waitlists. Your coach helps you understand what it means for your child and where to focus first.
Transitions are hard
Leaving the park, turning off the iPad, getting into the car seat. Your coach helps you spot what's hard about the moment and build in supports, visuals, and choices so it goes more smoothly.
Your child communicates in their own way
Maybe they're not talking yet, use a few words, or have an AAC device that mostly sits in the bag. Your coach shows you how to set up moments for communication during play and routines, and how to respond to all the ways your child is already telling you things.
Mealtimes are a battle
A short list of safe foods, or meals that end in tears. Your coach helps you take the pressure off, make room for new foods without forcing them, and make mealtimes more enjoyable.
Daily routines take forever
Toileting, dressing, bath time, brushing teeth, sleep. Your coach helps you break the routine into pieces, figure out where it falls apart, and try a different setup.
Things feel stuck
Progress has slowed, new challenges have shown up with sleep, meltdowns, eating, or friendships, or you're wondering whether to add, change, or stop something.
What coaching actually looks like
Each session starts with what happened at home. You tell your coach how the week went, what you tried, what worked and what didn't. Together you pick one or two moments to work on, and your coach shows you exactly what to try: what to say, what to set up, and what to watch for in your child. You try it during the week, and the next session starts from there.
That's what makes this different from advice. Strategies get adjusted to your child and your house, not just handed over.
A few examples of what families work on:
Coaching that respects who your child is
Your coach starts from how your child communicates, plays, and experiences the world. The goal is to make daily life work better for your whole family. That means honoring stimming and other ways your child regulates, treating every kind of communication as communication, and building on what your child already loves.
Built around your child's strengths and your family's life
Options that fit your family
Your goals, your schedule, your other kids, and what your family can take on. The plan starts there, not with a one-size-fits-all list.
Built on your child's strengths
Your coach helps you see what your child does well and use it as the starting point for the goals you pick.
More confidence as a parent
Strategies you can use every day, and a clear picture of how everything fits together, so you can lead the plan with confidence.
What your four sessions look like
Four 30-minute video sessions, one per week. You meet with your coach. Your child doesn't need to be there.
Your child and your days
What your child loves, what's going well, and the one or two routines that feel hardest right now.
Your first strategies
Your coach walks you through what to try in those routines this week.
What worked, and what's next
You share how it went. Your coach helps you adjust what didn't fit and build on what did.
Your plan going forward
A written plan with the strategies that work for your child, ready to share with your partner, school, and providers, plus guidance on next steps if you're weighing other services.
No two families are the same, so your coach adjusts each session to what you bring in.

Questions parents ask first
Who is this for?
Parents and caregivers of kids with autism, at any stage, from a new diagnosis to years into the journey. Coaching is for you, the parent. Your child doesn't need to attend.
What will we actually work on?
Whatever's hardest in your day right now. Common ones are communication, transitions, meltdowns, mealtimes, toileting, sleep, and play.
Will I get things to try at home?
Yes, every week. Most of the coaching happens in the space between sessions, when you try something and come back to talk through how it went.
What if a strategy doesn't work for my child?
That's useful information. Your coach will help you figure out why and adjust it.
Will my coach tell me which therapy to choose?
Your coach helps you weigh your options against your child's goals and your family's situation. The decisions stay yours.
What other approaches can my coach help me understand?
Along with speech, OT, and PT, families often ask about Floortime, ESDM, ABA, communication tools like picture systems and speech-generating devices, social skills groups, feeding support, and school services. Your coach helps you sort out what's worth exploring for your child.
Does Coral Care provide ABA?
Coral Care provides speech, occupational, and physical therapy. Your coach can help you think through whether ABA or other approaches are right for your family.
My child is already getting support. Is this still useful?
Yes. Many families come in to check whether the current mix is working, coordinate across providers, or plan for a transition like a new school.
Is this a diagnosis or a treatment plan?
No. Your coach works with you, the parent, on everyday strategies and how to use them at home. It doesn't include evaluating or treating your child.
Is this only virtual?
Coaching is virtual, evenings and early mornings included, so it fits around your family's schedule. If your child later starts speech, OT, or PT with Coral Care, that care happens in person, always.
Can I use my FSA or HSA?
Yes. We accept FSA and HSA cards at checkout and you'll get an itemized receipt for your records.
Do I need a referral to start?
No. Any parent can start, with or without a referral or an existing relationship with Coral Care.
What if I need more than four sessions?
You can book another bundle. Nothing renews automatically, so you decide at the end rather than at the start.
If speech, OT, or PT ends up in your plan
Coral Care's licensed therapists come to you, after school or on weekends, so care fits around the rest of your child's week. Find care near you
