Parent Coaching and Consulting

The Family Behaviorist

We all struggle from time to time with knowing the best response, explanation, or the right temperament to address a situation.  I am here to help, join my network or schedule a one-on-one coaching session.  I have helped parents, teachers, and coaches to understand and handle behavioral challenges in many different situations and circumstances.

About Parent Coaching

Parent Coaching

During Parent Coaching, we work directly with the parents or caregivers to discuss current goals, challenges, and achievements. We’ll create a plan of action and ensure caregivers are prepared to handle current & future behaviors in the best way to achieve the best results.

These interventions are not behavioral in nature and are not covered by BACB certification.  
We do not offer behavior analytic services, all services are strictly for parent training and coaching.

People Say

"As a family with 4 children life is hard, but when you add school avoidance, outburst, defiance and emotional withdrawal things get unbearable. We tried everything we could think of to help our daughter navigate through these issues. When it became apparent that we were not headed in the right direction we enlisted the help of Mandy Grass, BCBA. Mandy helped us to regain control with strategies that were simple to follow and worked with time and consistency. Our daughter has missed 0 days of school following the introduction of a point based reward system. Her demeanor has improved greatly with positive reinforcement and she is no longer secluding herself from the rest of the family. Not only has Mandy helped us to become better parents she has also built a bond with our daughter adding another layer of stability and familiarity to her approach. Without Mandy we would still be fighting a never ending cycle. Instead we can now focus on the positives and everyday achievements. ."
