In this course we aim to equip children with lifelong independence. You can support your child's mastery of life-sustaining skills—from independent eating, toileting, hand-washing, and dressing, to cleaning up, and asking for help. Learn gentle, effective ways to teach these skills now and proven strategies to maintain them all the way into adulthood.

Give your child the confidence to speak up and be heard. We’ll look at expressive language (helping them find the right words and say what they mean) and receptive language (truly listening and understanding what’s said), plus how to turn everyday moments into real back-and-forth conversations and get them following instructions with ease. You’ll walk away with simple, fun ways to grow their skills and their confidence, so they feel brave about talking, sharing ideas, and joining in.
