We work with middle and high school students to start developing the skills and independence they need to prepare for post-secondary options like college or vocational training.

Academic coaching is focused on helping students develop the skills they need to manage their time, stay organized, and meet their goals throughout the quarter or semester.  We problem solve with each individual in real time as needs arise by looking at each course and helping the student create a plan for each class. We offer academic accountability and help students create action plans for getting their work completed.

Neurodiverse students often have unique support needs which are not met in college. Our staff share a deep understanding of campus environments and accessibility and can guide you in selecting the right schools.  We support families throughout the admissions process and can suggest colleges and programs after learning about each individual and their goals.

Our staff will help you: 

• Explore career interests, 

• Build workplace skills, 

• Strengthen self-advocacy,

• Request workplace accommodations, 

• Refine your resume and 

• Hone your interviewing skills.  

We can also assist with marketing yourself, organizing the job search, and communicating with companies. 

We can help create organizational systems that work for you to navigate school, work, and daily life with better confidence and independence. We understand that executive functioning impacts are not a lack of motivation, but differences in how you organize, process, and manage tasks. We can help you implement individualized tools, build systems, and utilize technology to make your life easier. Examples include:

• Organization and planning

• Time management and prioritizing tasks

• Task initiation

• Study skills and academic routines

• Goal setting and accountability 

• Building routines and independent living skills

We want to help families and students create a path toward independence and autonomy. Our family coaching services provide guidance, collaboration, and realistic strategies for helping families support their students while transitioning from primary decision makers to partners/advisors. We understand that this time can bring forth feelings of excitement, uncertainty, and shifting family roles, and seek to provide guidance so that everyone feels supported and set up for success.

We can explore social strategies to build confidence, increase social fluency, and connect across different social settings. Our coaching helps individuals better understand social expectations and developing relationships while strengthening self-advocacy skills. We also help students navigate situations that might feel confusing, stressful, or overwhelming. Social coaching will incorporate strategies that can be used in social settings on topics such as:

• Building friendships, 

• Communication skills, 

• Boundary setting, 

• Unspoken expectations and 

• Confidence while initiating conversations and in group settings.

Our clients' needs are diverse.  We can optimize the number of sessions and tailor the content to your goals and budget.
