Family Care Giving

Because progress made in a session should live in your home too

Family Care Giving equips parents and caregivers with the strategies, confidence, and hands-on coaching to carry your child’s therapy goals into everyday routines, not just therapy sessions.

What Is Family Care Giving?

Caregiver coaching that turns therapy goals into daily habits

Family Care Giving, sometimes called caregiver training, is a core part of the EIDBI benefit. Rather than therapy happening only in a session with a therapist, our team works directly with parents and caregivers, teaching the same strategies your child is learning so they carry over into mealtimes, bedtime routines, and everyday moments at home.
Every family’s needs look different, so caregiver coaching is built around your household, your routines, and the goals in your child’s Individual Treatment Plan, not a generic parenting class.

Common Questions

Questions families ask about caregiver coaching

No. Family Care Giving is caregiver training and coaching, teaching parents and caregivers the strategies used in your child’s therapy so they carry over into daily life, not a childcare service.

Typically parents and primary caregivers, though grandparents, siblings, or other regular caregivers can be included when it supports consistency at home.

Both, depending on what fits your family. Many caregivers benefit from a mix of in-center coaching and in-home support.

For most families enrolled in Medical Assistance, MinnesotaCare, or MA-TEFRA, caregiver training is covered as part of the EIDBI benefit alongside your child’s other therapies.

That is expected, and it is exactly why coaching is built around your household, not a generic script. We work with the routines your family actually has.
