Description

A practical, neurodiversity-affirming workshop for coaches focused on helping autistic and similarly neurodivergent adults build confidence, safety, flexibility, and independence in community travel.

Participants will learn how to break travel into manageable steps, support executive functioning and emotional regulation needs, create individualized safety and problem-solving plans, and use tools such as visual supports, technology, and scaffolded practice. Through real-life examples and interactive resources, coaches will leave with strategies they can immediately apply with clients using public transportation, rideshares, walking routes, and more.

Speaker:

In addition to her role at AANE, Nicole serves as an adjunct clinical faculty member in the Occupational Therapy Department at Western New England University.
