ASSESSMENT & DIAGNOSIS

We recognize that each individual has unique learning skills and development needs. These needs may or may not be met through mainstream teaching and education methods. We provide assessments to help families:

Better understand the individual’s cognitive, learning, and independent self-management skills
Develop more effective strategies to better meet the individual's holistic learning and development goals

SOCIAL ADAPTIVE SKILLS COACHING

We believe that the ability of an individual to communicate and adapt to their social environment is an important life-skill. The ability to function successfully in a social setting requires not only the skills to communicate and interact with others, but also the motivation to sustain the use of these skills. We provide interventions to help clients:

    Develop their social awareness and understanding

    Learn skills to more effectively communicate and interact with others

    Learn strategies to become more socially flexible and adaptive

TRANSITIONAL COACHING

Neurodiverse individuals  are often challenged with situations of change. Transitions such as graduating from formal school-life into National Service, or adapting to more independent adult work-life, can cause increased anxiety and stress.


Transitional coaching provides  guidance and skills-training to help the individual better adapt to their new circumstances. It also gives the individual access to objective perspectives to help them see, understand, and address their personal challenges, and promote greater self-advocacy and independent functioning.

CAREGIVER, EDUCATOR AND EMPLOYER CONSULTATION & TRAINING

Parenting, managing, and guiding an individual with different needs is a dynamic process that changes with the individual’s life stages. We provide individual and/or group consultations or training to help family, caregivers, educators, and employers:


Gain knowledge and strategies to help teach and guide the individual’s development in the home, school, or workplace settings

Learn coping and management skills and strategies to deal with the challenges caregivers and supervisors themselves often face
