Neurodiverse coaching, which may also be called neurodiversity-informed coaching, is a form of personal or professional coaching that supports people who have been diagnosed with neurodivergent conditions.
My decades of professional experience are enriched by the personal journey of raising my autistic daughter, who has grown into an independent young adult with a successful career and a fulfilling life of her own. Her accomplishments have shaped my coaching approach, reinforcing the importance of patience, understanding, individualized support, and empowering others to recognize their strengths and achieve meaningful success.
The coaching work that I do focuses on these key areas:
- Understanding individual strengths and challenges (executive function, sensory needs, communication styles, focus centers, etc).
- Helping my clients and their parents build strategies for work, study, relationships, and life skills. This sets up a path to safety, stability and longevity that provides profound enrichment for everyone involved.
- Encouraging self-advocacy and self-acceptance using confidence-building strategies that are founded on insights into their values that are unique to each case.
- Collaborating with clients in ways that align with their sensory processing styles and behavioral patterns yielding uniquely positive outcomes.
My life coaching for neurodivergent clients takes a holistic approach utilizing all of the above-listed aspects of each case, combined with careful observation and application of case-specific techniques for bringing out the best possible outcomes for them. I am a provider of DDD-approved goods and services.
