The early years are everything. We help you make the most of them

In the early years, children’s brains are rapidly developing and at their most elastic. The games you play, conversations you have, and routines you share aren’t simply lovely moments; they’re actively laying the foundation for future communication and learning. It’s a remarkable window, and when nurtured, can give your little one the strongest possible start.

Rooted in speech-language development principles and guided by the power of play and connection, our coaching programs are tailored to your child, your parenting style, your schedule, and the questions that matter most to you.

01

Bespoke programs

Our parenting programs are flexible, designed to help you make the most of your time together rather than add to your to-do list. Choose the cadence of catch-ups, communication preferences—from Zoom consultations to ongoing WhatsApp conversations—and guidance that grows with your family.

Individualized support

Every child is different, so every approach is too. We start by getting to know your child — how they play, communicate, and engage — then work with you to build strategies that fit naturally into your family’s life.

Real research, powerful play. We translate the latest evidence into practical, play-based strategies you can use from day one.

FAQ's

What is the main goal of parent coaching?
Parent coaching focuses on helping you understand how your child’s communication and development unfold during everyday life. We look at the routines that already fill your day — mealtimes, books, and conversations — and build strategies around those moments, using play and connection as the foundation for everything. The goal is to give you the tools and confidence to support your child’s development naturally at home.
Can parent coaching be done online?
Yes, Ressa Speech offers virtual parent coaching, making it easy for anyone in the United States to access expert support and guidance. At-home sessions mean Kat can get to know your child in their natural environment, where they’re most relaxed and comfortable playing.
How long does parent coaching last?
Every family is different, so there's no fixed timeline. Some parents come with a specific question or concern and find that a handful of sessions gives them everything they need. Others prefer ongoing support as their child moves through different stages. Kat will work with you to find a cadence that fits your family and your goals.
How old are the children you work with?
Ressa Speech offers parent coaching for families from the first few months of life through into early childhood. Whether you're navigating the earliest stages of communication or supporting a child approaching school age, Kat can offer bespoke support.
How is parent coaching different from speech therapy?
Speech therapy focuses directly on your child, assessing and treating specific speech, language, and feeding needs. Parent coaching focuses on you, giving you the knowledge, strategies, and confidence to support your child's development through play, connection, and the moments you share every day. If you’re not sure what’s right, schedule an introductory call, and Kat can help you work out what will be most beneficial for your little one.
