Presented by: Dathan D. Rush, Ed.D., CCC-SLP, & M’Lisa L. Shelden, PT, Ph.D.
What is early childhood coaching, and why is it so effective for young children, their families, and other care providers? Get practical answers in this coffee chat with Dathan Rush and M’Lisa Shelden, coauthors of The Early Childhood Coaching Handbook. You’ll get a brief overview of coaching in early childhood and discover the importance of supporting care providers within real-life contexts (as opposed to practitioner-contrived activities during sessions or visits). Dathan and M’Lisa will also share answers to commonly asked questions and engage participants in a discussion on what they’ve learned over the last year as coaching via tele-practice became an overnight reality for many programs. The chat will conclude with a fidelity challenge for all practitioners currently using or planning to use coaching strategies with care providers of young children.
