Getting Started
Having a child with learning and behavioural difficulties can be distressing for the whole family, so the first step will be to meet with you, the parents, to have a chat about your child’s issues, and the impact this is having on family life. Rosalind will discuss options, and together you can determine the best way to help your child.
Options
Depending on your goals, Rosalind offers several options:
- Individual Counselling Sessions to address areas of immediate concern. This may include a discussion of issues underlying the behaviours, and suggestions for helping you and your child in the short term.
