Parent Consultations
While rooted in clinical expertise, First Words Forward focuses on education and parent coaching rather than direct therapy. Sessions are designed to empower families with practical tools, insights, and strategies they can use every day to support their child’s communication development at home.
Because every family’s questions are unique, flexible online consultation options are designed to give you the support you need, when you need it.
Please note: In line with state licensing requirements, services are available only to families residing in California.

Get answers to your most pressing questions in a focused session.
No written plan included.

A comprehensive session to review your child’s communication strengths and concerns. Includes a written plan with personalized strategies you can start using right away.

Personalized Resources
Sometimes you want more than a consultation — you want hands-on tools to use every day. After completing an Initial Consultation, I can create custom resources tailored to your child’s needs, including strategy guides, visuals, and activity packets. Pricing begins at $250 and varies based on project scope.
