PARENT COACHING & CONSULTATION
You finally have
some answers.
But now what?
Consultation for families navigating life after a developmental, psychological, or neuropsychological evaluation — turning a long list of recommendations into a practical plan for home, school, and daily life.
CONNECTING THE DOTS
When the evaluation is done but the journey has just begun
A comprehensive evaluation can bring real clarity — finally understanding why things have been hard, and having language for it. It can also leave families holding a dense report, unfamiliar terminology, and a long list of recommendations with no clear sense of where to begin.
Many families aren't sure which recommendations matter most right now, how much support to give, whether current therapies are actually helping, or how to make everyday life feel more manageable. That's exactly where consultation comes in.
Who This Is For
This may be a good fit if…
Consultation can support families navigating anything from mild executive functioning or social challenges to more complex developmental profiles involving communication, learning, regulation, or flexibility differences.
What Consultations Can Cover
Practical support across the areas that matter most
Making Sense of Evaluations
Understanding findings, demystifying terminology, and identifying which recommendations are the right priorities for your family right now.
Routines & Daily Life
Applying evaluation results to improve systems for mornings, homework, transitions, and self-care — and troubleshooting when things aren't working.
Executive Function & Independence
Supporting planning, organization, task initiation, and emotional regulation — and helping caregivers shift from constant prompting toward greater independence over time.
School & IEP Navigation
Understanding and advocating for appropriate school supports, accommodations, and IEP processes — and communicating more effectively with your child's school team.
Coordinating Care
Helping families make sense of recommendations across multiple providers, identifying gaps, and getting everyone on the same page.
Communication & Self-Advocacy
Supporting communication differences, self-advocacy skills, and social participation — and helping parents and kids communicate more effectively with each other.
THE APPROACH
Collaborative, practical, and neurodiversity-affirming
Consultation is individualized. Some families need a few sessions to sort through post-evaluation priorities. Others benefit from ongoing support as their child moves through new stages, school transitions, or changing needs.
Meet you where you are
Whether you're newly navigating an evaluation or feel like you've tried everything, we start with your priorities — not a preset curriculum.
Translate findings into action
As an SLP who works closely alongside psychologists and other specialists, I can bridge evaluation language to everyday strategies.
Support the whole family
Sustainable change happens at home. Consultation focuses on building realistic systems that fit your family — not adding more to an already full plate.

GETTING STARTED
What to expect
Initial Inquiry
Book a 15-minute introductory Zoom call to meet Christine and talk about next steps. After booking, you'll receive a new client paperwork packet to complete at your own pace — including an opportunity to upload any recent reports.
First Consultation (60 minutes, via Zoom)
Before we meet for our first consultation, I will thoroughly review recent reports and get permission to consult with other providers on your family’s team. The first appointment is focused on understanding your current concerns, reviewing evaluation priorities, identifying practical next steps, and previewing initial strategies. Most families leave with a clearer sense of where to focus and what to try first.
Ongoing or As-Needed Support
Some families need only a few sessions. Others benefit from regular appointments for building skills and tackling challenges over time as their child grows and circumstances change. We'll figure out what makes sense for your family together.
While most families prefer the convenience of Zoom, in-person appointments are also available by request in SW Portland.
SESSION FEES
We start with 55 to 60-minute appointments ($150/Session). Shorter appointments are available are sometimes appropriate for established clients for check-ins or focused follow up.
Insurance & Superbills
Parent & Family Consultation is a private pay service. Christine is not an in-network provider with any insurance plan, and this specific service is not eligible for insurance reimbursement — meaning superbills are not available for consultation appointments.
This is different from speech-language pathology therapy or caregiver training services that are part of a direct treatment plan with a child, which may be eligible for out-of-network reimbursement. If you are seeking those services, please see the general FAQs for more information.
Parent & Family Consultation is provided by a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist and reflects Christine's professional training and scope of practice which includes communication, executive function, and care coordination. This service is not a substitute for direct medical or mental health treatment, which may also be warranted or recommended.
