Parent Partnership
COACHING FOCUSED ON COLLABORATION AND COMMUNICATION
Sending your child off to college is a monumental step, and we understand the emotional mix of excitement and apprehension that comes with it. We are honored to partner with families as we help bridge the gap to life outside of the family home. Our approach emphasizes collaboration, transparency, and providing parents with tools to stay informed and engaged. Through our secure parent portal, families can monitor progress and celebrate milestones.
We partner with Parent Coach Professionals to assist all parents during orientation and throughout their first year. Parent coaching offers guidance from skilled coaches to support the evolving parent-child relationship. This allows families to step back from day-to-day management while embracing a new role as advisors, fostering growth and independence for their adult children.
Fostering Confidence and Collaboration: Parent coaching empowers families to work together more effectively by building trust and open communication. This strengthens the support system for young adults navigating higher education.
Tailored Guidance for Complex Challenges: CLE coaches specialize in addressing the nuanced needs of neurodiverse students and their families, offering customized strategies to manage academic, social, and emotional transitions effectively.
Holistic Approach to Growth: Coaching focuses on enhancing parents’ skills in active listening, problem-solving, and advocating for their child’s independence while ensuring students develop resilience and self-advocacy.
Expert-Led Support and Proven Techniques: Led by experienced professionals, parent coaching integrates evidence-based practices, ensuring parents feel prepared and confident to support their young adults during their college journey.
The CLE Advantage: Tools That Support Students & Families
The CLE Advantage: Families often wrestle with how to let go while staying connected in their new support role as parents and guardians. Our partnership with professional parent coaches gives families the opportunity to develop strategies to strengthen communication, shift into an advisory role, and build trust as their young adult gains independence.
Why it matters: Parents can process this new stage in such a way where they may no longer feel like “managers” of their student’s life. Instead, they can learn how to support from the sidelines offering encouragement while giving their student the space to build confidence and resilience. Families can gain peace of mind, while students can gain room to grow.
The CLE Advantage: Through a secure progress system and Parent Portal, families are able to view goals, milestones, and updates in real time. CLE staff document progress across all areas, ensuring transparency and team coordination across support services.
Why it matters: Instead of waiting for semester grades or chasing updates, families can follow their student’s growth within CLE services step by step. This clarity and insight can help reduce stress, build trust, and help everyone celebrate the small wins that add up to lasting independence.
The CLE Advantage: Using mobile coaching tools, allow students to practice independence where it matters most – in their daily lives. From reminders about assignments to checklists for cooking, hygiene, or transportation, support is woven into real-world routines.
Why it matters: Academic support alone isn’t enough. It’s the daily habits that make independence possible. CLE reinforces skills like time management, self-care, and organization in real time, so students don’t just learn independence, they live it. Parents know their child is building habits that last long after the program.
The CLE Advantage: Every student begins their journey at CLE with a research-based career assessment that highlights their strengths, interests, and values. CLE coaches use this foundation to design tailored academic and career exploration including internships, volunteer opportunities, and job preparation.
Why it matters: Too often, students pick majors or jobs by trial and error. By grounding career planning in proven assessments, CLE helps students pursue paths that fit – avoiding unnecessary setbacks and opening doors to possibility of meaningful, sustainable futures.
