Karin’s in-home services range from one-time meetings to multiple sessions as needed or requested by each family she works with.

Karin is also a pro with technology, and she will help you set up best practices for organizing paperwork, communication, and scheduling playdates, doctor’s appointments, after school activities, and travel/leisure time.

In-Home Assessment

The in-home comprehensive assessment and interviews are scheduled for a two to three hour block. In-person is preferred, although some of the interviewing can occur over the phone or through Skype. The first step is to examine your current systems (or lack of them) and discuss them with all key family members and helpers. This includes individual and family goals,  how needs are communicated, what chores are expected, and how these expectations are managed among family members. The family will think about and determine the biggest obstacles interfering with individual and family functioning. The end goal is to create lasting positive family changes.

Solutions and Problem-Solving

Next, a “Getting Organized” custom plan is designed. Karin builds upon strengths and creates a step by step plan to overcome challenges. 

• A communication system that works for everyone will ensure that important events and expectations are met. 
• Setting up a central “command center” providing a place for calendars, upcoming events, important emergency information, and necessary supplies is designed.
• Selecting new storage solutions will keep your home neat and orderly. Paper, whether schoolwork, mail, or other documents, need a maintenance system so that things don’t pile up, but relevant content can easily be found. 
• Selecting systems for getting up in the morning at the optimal time, planning meals, completing homework, spending quiet time, establishing no device time, incorporating family relaxation time, and setting a consistent bedtime will be offered.  
• A backup plan will be handy when things don’t go as planned and follow up tweaks are recommended to fine tune what works best for all involved parties.
