Course Curriculum
Hi, I’m Chelsea and I'm an occupational therapist!
Here’s what I already know about you. You want your child to achieve great things. You want them to find a job they love and excel in. You want them to have meaningful work where they can connect with a community and feel like part of a team.
But how is that possible if they won’t get off the couch to go clean their own room? How can you get them to engage with the real world if they won’t put down their phone or step away from their computer screen? How can they be more independent if they can’t even do their own laundry without you nagging? How can your child find success if they have a disability or some other limitation?
I’m here to show you how.
You are the most qualified person to guide your child on this journey to find their passion, their purpose, and their direction in life...even if it doesn’t feel like it!
Are you ready to unlock the door to finding your child’s success and happiness in life?
