Narrative

I provide career development coaching for individuals with Asperger's Syndrome and similar autism spectrum profiles. Zoom sessions are available nationwide.

Consultations for parents offer a review of your son or daughter's situation, and suggestions for determing the right type of job or career, and for finding employment.

Training and consultations are also available to professionals and employers. The Asperger's/Autism Employment Coach Certification includes 8 weeks of live instruction over the Internet plus a 6-week supervised practicum. Programs also available for vocational rehabilitation counselors.

I am the author of the award-winning Complete Guide to Getting a Job for People with Asperger's Syndrome; the Asperger's Syndrome Workplace Survival Guide: A Neurotypical's Secrets for Success; and Helping Adults with Asperger's Syndrome Get & Stay Hired: Career Coaching Strategies for Professionals and Parents.
