Supporting Families Post-Diagnosis
ADJUSTING TO A DIAGNOSISSupporting Families Through New Diagnoses and Transitions.
Receiving a diagnosis for your child—whether developmental, learning, or health-related—can bring a mix of emotions: relief, uncertainty, grief, or even guilt. It can also create new challenges as families navigate medical appointments, therapies, school planning, and daily routines. Therapy and parent consultation provide a compassionate space to process these emotions, explore practical strategies, and build confidence in supporting your child’s needs.
