Customized Autism Spectrum Disorder Coaching
Coaches who understand learning differences, communication, and the social landscape
Our customized Autism Spectrum Disorder programs are tailored to the specific needs of each student, parent, or professional. We apply authentic learning experiences to assist in the generalization of new skills to one’s everyday life. Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) can present deficits in areas such as: Comprehending oral and/or written communication, reasoning skills, problem-solving, organizational tasks, reading social cues, and understanding the perspective of others (theory of mind).
Rather than acquiring these skills naturally, individuals diagnosed with ASD can benefit from explicit 1:1 instruction and coaching to focus and strengthen skills such as self-awareness, self-advocacy, organization, help-seeking, self-care, and interpersonal skills.
Instead of using a set curriculum to teach these skills, New Frontiers utilizes a cognitive modeling approach, supporting individuals diagnosed with ASDs to identify areas of skill deficit unique to their experiences as a learner and/or professional.
