Coaching for neurodiverse individuals to promote social skills, life skills, and community development.
I understand what it means to question: “what happens next?” Whether you are transitioning from middle school to high school or from high school to adulthood or if you are well into adulthood, the transition is a critical piece to navigating the unknown; navigating the unexpected. According to the 2023 annual report by the Autism Speaks foundation, “[Only] 10% of students qualify for special education services throughout the nation and over 40% of young adults with autism do not find employment after high school.”
So, how do we close that gap? By promoting those necessary skills ​with 1-on-1 coaching so each individual receives the individualized instruction they need.
Hey everyone! I'm Raven. I am a transition coordinator by day and a social skills coach by night. I have a genuine love and desire for helping others and specifically, I love helping neurodiverse individuals build proficiency in adulthood. As a transition coordinator, I help individuals improve their social skills by learning about conversation starters and even appropriate conversation topics, adult living skills like money management and budgeting, community skills to identify leisure activities, identify natural supports in the community, and create a sense of purpose by serving others, and so much more!
​
I help individuals create and thus achieve their goals by promoting skills, they are already capable of, in order to efficiently transition into the best version of themselves. As individuals undergo the transition process, they will learn skills that will help them facilitate positive growth throughout their life such as: becoming more organized, managing their time wisely, creating a routine that works, developing and maintaining healthy relationships, maintaining a good work-life balance, promoting social skills and all of the other intricacies that encompass living on your own.​

Vision and Mission Statements
My vision is to help all individuals, with learning differences, promote their executive function skills, social-emotional skills, and college and career planning to transition into adulthood by establishing community, raising awareness, and teaching through the gradual release of responsibility model.
My mission is to provide individuals with skills that will assist them all throughout adulthood. Adulting can be easy if an individual is fully equipped with the knowledge to maintain and promote their life in prioritized areas; however, it can also be very hard if mismanaged or misdirected. Individuals will know what, when, and how to maintain a healthy, proactive, stress-free life by applying the necessary skills that I instruct.
