Monthly Autism Coaching
Your coaching journey will be unique to you and what you would like to get out of it. We will meet 3 weeks each month with a group meetup highly encouraged on the off week. Most people stay with coaching for 6 months to accomplish their goals.
Below are several examples, but this list does not include all of the possibilities.Ā
Sensory regulation* - Methods to decrease sensory overwhelm and regulate your sensory system
Self-understanding* - After years of invalidation, masking, or feeling unsafe or unable to live authentically, exploring your authentic self and discovering true needs, wants, and aspirations.
Self-advocacy* - Learning strategies to advocate for your needs.
Self-acceptance* - Ableism and stigma impact our community and can impact how we think about ourselves. Learning to accept and appreciate your neurotype.
Executive functioning*- Including planning, organizing, sequencing, and initiating.
Emotion regulation*- Learning what coping strategies work is a lifelong journey as needs change and evolve throughout the lifetime. Learning what triggers emotional overwhelm, how to cope with it when it happens, and how to set proactive boundaries to minimize emotional overwhelm.
Job search and job management - Understanding your needs in the workplace, applying for jobs, interviewing skills, deciding whether or not to disclose neurodiversity, accommodations that work for you, working and communicating effectively with others.
College application and attendance - Applying for college, deciding whether or not to disclose your neurodiversity, attending classes, doing the work, communicating with professors and peers.
Social encounters and relationships* - Building meaningful connections and finding a supportive community.
Living independently -Ā Though we are all interdependent and rely on those around us for support, learning the skills and components of living alone or with a roommate.Ā
