Narrative

I provide career development coaching for individuals with Asperger's Syndrome (and similar autism spectrum profiles) and Nonverbal Learning Disorder. Services include career exploration, interview readiness, resume development, job search plans, performance improvement, executive function and communication skills coaching, disclosure strategy and accommodations. In-person coaching is available in greater Boston, MA; telephone and 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. 

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.
