Help for Children
Given the rise in developmental delays and the emotional and behavioral challenges for children it is important to have a safe and professional resource for evaluation, strategic parent guidance and treatment for children and families. Soho Parenting offers a variety of services for children and their parents.
Observation, Assessment, and Treatment
Sometimes parents are concerned that their child is struggling with a developmental vulnerability or behavioral/emotional issue. It can be helpful and reassuring to schedule a combination of child play observation and parent feedback sessions with a child development specialist. These sessions can determine the nature of the issue and the best strategy for how to deal with the problem effectively. If we determine that a referral to another professional or service is needed, such as, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, educational guidance, or a formal developmental evaluation, we will facilitate these referrals.
"I was so worried about Jack's language development but also worried that I was over-reacting. The play session taught me so much about what was realistic to expect from him. We were able to get connected to a great speech therapist and he's making great progress. Coming here was a comfortable first step."

Play Therapy
At Soho Parenting we believe that parents need to be integrally involved in their child's treatment. A plan combining child sessions, parent-child meetings, along with parent guidance is tailored to your families needs.
"Sophie was having such a hard time at school and having so many temper tantrums at home. We were worried and at our wits end. Coming to Soho Parenting ourselves and having some play sessions with Sophie really helped us understand how to help her with her emotions, set strong limits and it made us closer as a family."
- Melissa & David J., parents of Fiona, age 7 years
