NLD Coaching is a collaborative venture. Coaching sessions are designed to explore specific, practical and pragmatic interventions for the individual with NLD.  This special coaching is equally or even more important for family members and outside team members working with someone with Nonverbal Learning Disorder.  Determining together the individualized, identified needs of the child, teen or adult, and using the NLD Model I've developed over the years, we collaborate on effective and dynamic strategies which assist in making life easier for the team and for the person with NLD.

​

NLD Coaching sessions consist of weekly telephone conversations, scheduled for predetermined times of half-hour, one hour, or longer, as may be needed.  

​

Very different from therapy, coaching is a supportive and practical process, tailored to the needs of the client, where weekly NLD situations are reviewed, specific NLD information is examined and the client's priorities are addressed. Sometimes the entire time is spent focusing on the solution to one small detail that seems to be getting in the way of success  for the individual, the family or the educator.  At other times, there is discussion regarding general information, specific school-related, work-related or home-related topics or social / emotional areas of import. With my help to clarify and reflect as I listen to goals, concerns, thoughts and ideas, the time belongs to the client, as does the focal point of the conversation.
