Parent Support
-
Early childhood education is a hugely important time for children to develop crucial life skills, including communication, socialization, emotional regulation, and academic readiness. When a child struggles to engage fully in a classroom setting due to their own disruptive behaviors they may miss valuable opportunities to build these foundational skills.
Challenging behaviors often occur because a necessary skill is missing. As a result, a replacement behavior needs to be taught to both the child and any other people in the current setting (parents, teachers, peers, siblings, etc,). By explicitly teaching a replacement behavior, the child learns to meet their needs more effectively (and safely!), reducing distress for themself and others.

Parent coaching is a highly individualized 1:1 service that helps you uncover unhelpful behavior patterns in your family and child. Together we unpack the “why” and learn evidence-based strategies to replace them with healthier, more effective behaviors.
Virtual or in-person coaching sessions for guidance on managing behavior concerns in the home or at school;
Customized behavior plans tailored to your child with ongoing feedback and support;
Education on child development, behavior management strategies, and building a stronger connection with your child.

“She had an assessment and saw what was leading to these behaviors and she hit the nail on the head. Sarah sat with [the child] and helped her to think backward to retrain the child's mind to be able to think instead of just acting on her emotions right away. It was a really, really cool thing to watch and learn from.”
- Lauren Beck, Client
“I attribute almost
all of [the child's]
ability to excel to Sarah.”

Hi, I’m Sarah Welsh, a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst
A little bit about me: I’ve worked in early childhood education for over a decade! As the oldest of 12 siblings, it was an easy segue into adulthood and my career. I received a bachelor's degree in child and youth studies and a master’s degree in Education with a focus on Applied Behavior Analysis from The Ohio State University.
Now a parent of a little one, I know from first-hand experience how difficult it is to change one's parenting approach. You can’t just jump to the top of the staircase. You need to take each step one at a time to make lasting changes. ABA methodology has improved my own and my clients' lives.
Raising a healthy, capable child is one of the hardest things a person can do, but it’s every parent’s dream. If you’re looking to implement positive, thoughtful parenting techniques but continue to run into challenges, let’s talk.
I help families break free from habits and routines that hold them back. I’ll meet you right where you are to create a personalized, evidence-based plan that leads to lasting change. No quick fixes, just real progress.
