380: Diane Dempster and Collaborative Parent Dynamics (Local Professional Series)

Rachel Kapp, M.Ed., BCET, and Stephanie Pitts, M.Ed., BCET welcome back Diane Dempster, co-founder of Impact Parents. She discusses the different flavors of parent roles in the educational therapy process (“you handle it,” “micromanager,” and “in-betweeners”). She shares about the importance of creating a relationship with parents and personalizing the relationship. She also shares a tool, AC-E (acknowledge, show compassion, wait and explore) that can help diffuse upregulated situations. They once again discuss the differences between boundaries and agreements as well as discussions about recalibration of collaborative agreements.
