Areas frequently addressed in parent coaching include:
- Behavioral issues
- Tantrums
- School and work refusal
- Anxiety
- Executive Functioning (motivation, organization/tracking of materials, time management, daily schedules, etc.)
- Increasing independence and confidence
- Sibling Rivalry (especially problems that arise with neuro-typical siblings)
