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.
I have decades of experience doing this meaningful work, which includes the personal experience of raising a daughter suffering from autism. With patience, undivided attention, and nurturing – via insights learned along the way – she is now a thriving young adult with a successful career of her own.
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.
