Chat is a practical, caregiver-mediated program that equips you, whether you're a BCBA, LMFT, OT, SLP, or Psychologist, to help families support their child’s development through everyday routines. Across three courses, you will learn the full Chat framework: from assessment and goal-setting to teaching core developmental strategies to empowering caregivers through coaching and collaboration. With a strong foundation in evidence-based practices, Chat helps you partner with families to create meaningful, lasting change. This program is ideal for clinicians who want practical tools, real-world video examples, and a clear plan for supporting children between the ages of 0-6 with developmental delays.
