What to Expect
Getting started with supportive services can feel overwhelming; below, you'll see the step-by-step process for how Shine starts and conducts services.
First things first, let's get to know each other. This call is your opportunity to ask about our experience, education, and approaches to determine if Shine is the right fit for you and your family.
​
After our call, please take your time to discuss with your family to decide if we are the right fit. We never want you to feel rushed into anything.
​
If you do decide on starting services with us, yay!!! We CANNOT wait to meet you!
We're so excited to start working with you and your family. Some parents ask how frequent sessions will be and what the structure is like. Our answer may surprise you, but we don't necessarily have a structure that we use with every family—every family is different, so our approach is always individualized to you!
​
We value your perspectives, opinions, and thoughts throughout our time together.
After Sessions
Shine provides coaching for parents and caregivers on independently utilizing strategies and approaches, which will then generalize—making you a pro at supporting your loved one's communication, regulation, independence, and building relationships!
​
After we decide that regular sessions are no longer needed, we first do a celebratory dance. Then, we remind you that we are ALWAYS here for you. Parents are always welcome to come back for a refresher session or to discuss new transitions and ways to navigate them. ​
