Serving families across the DMV area
Making therapy & school strategies work at home
In-home implementation coaching for parents of children with autism. Practical, judgment-free support that bridges the gap between therapy sessions and everyday family life.
The Challenge
Therapy ends. Then what?
Your child is making progress in therapy — but at home, things feel different. You're not alone, and there's a way to bridge that gap.
Strategies Don't Transfer
What works in a clinical setting often falls apart at home. Morning routines, bedtime, transitions — you need strategies tailored to your actual environment.
Waitlists Are Long
Many families wait months or even years for ABA and other therapy services. Your child's development shouldn't be on pause while you wait.
You Need Real Support
Meltdowns, power struggles, and feeling overwhelmed — you deserve practical, judgment-free guidance from someone who truly understands.
What I Help With
Bringing calm to your home
Practical coaching that meets families where they are — in your home, on your schedule, with your real-life challenges.
Daily Routines & Transitions
Build consistent morning, mealtime, and bedtime routines that actually stick. I help you create visual schedules and structured systems designed for your child and your home.

Got Questions?
We’ve Got Answers
Is this therapy or ABA?
No. Sesay Advising provides educational parent coaching and implementation support — not therapy, diagnosis, or clinical treatment. I help parents learn to apply strategies from their child's existing therapy and school programs in their home environment. If your child needs clinical services, I'm happy to help connect you with local providers.
Do you accept insurance?
Sesay Advising is a private-pay service. Parent coaching and educational consulting are generally not covered by insurance. I offer transparent pricing and flexible scheduling to make support accessible for your family.
What areas do you serve?
I provide in-home sessions throughout the DMV (Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia) metro area. For families outside the area, virtual consultation sessions may be available.
How many sessions will my family need?
Every family is different. Some see meaningful changes in 3–4 sessions, while others benefit from ongoing support. During your free consultation, we'll discuss your goals and I'll recommend a plan that fits your family's needs.
What ages do you work with?
I primarily work with families of children ages 2–10, though every situation is unique. Book a free call and we'll determine if my services are the right fit for your child.
What should I expect during an in-home session?
Sessions take place in your home during typical routines — mornings, mealtimes, transitions, or bedtime. I observe, model strategies, and coach you in real-time. It's hands-on, collaborative, and designed to give you confidence in the moments that matter most.
Ready to bring calm & confidence home?
