Private Coaching for individuals and parents

Executive Functioning, Relational Skills, and Daily Living Support

Valiant provides individualized, community-based (non‑clinical) coaching for autistic, neurodivergent, and disabled children, teens, young adults, and the families who support them.

Valiant's work blends evidence‑based relational skills instruction with practical executive functioning support, helping clients build structure, strengthen daily routines, and develop tools they can use in everyday life.

Our coaches are Certified Relational Skills Instructors (PEERS® — Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills) and exercise physiologists specializing in energy and emotional regulation, which bring a unique, whole‑person lens to coaching.

Valiant believes that skill‑building only works when clients feel safe, respected, and understood. Our approach is neuro-affirming, trauma-informed and shame-free.

We help clients understand how their brain and body work together, and how to use that knowledge to navigate school, relationships, responsibilities, and independence with greater confidence.

Coaching emphasizes:

Self‑knowledge and self-understanding as the foundation for self‑advocacy
Strengths‑based communication
Clear, concrete, and actionable strategies
Flexibility and responsiveness to client feedback
Collaboration with families, educators, and care teams

Coaching for Parents

Guidance, clarity, and tools to support your child’s growth.

Parents often know their child best but aren’t always given the strategies or language to support executive functioning and relational skill development at home.

Valiant partners with parents to:

Understand their child’s learning profile and needs
Explore their own sensory and regulation needs
Build supportive routines and expectations
Strengthen communication and reduce conflict
Learn coaching‑aligned strategies to use at home
Coordinate with educators, therapists, and care teams
Expanding parent resources by connecting them in-community

Our coaching approach is grounded in empathy, self‑knowledge, and non‑judgmental partnership. Valiant helps families create environments that promote confidence, belonging, and psychological safety.

Whether supporting an adolescent with ADHD, a young adult navigating independence, or a parent seeking clarity and tools, Valiant’s goal remains the same: to help people feel capable, confident, and connected.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at dori@autismbestlife.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

What is coaching and how is it different than therapy?

Coaching at Valiant is community-based, practical, and skills‑focused. We help clients build routines, organization, communication skills, and daily living strategies they can use right away.

Therapy focuses on mental health treatment. Where coaching focuses on tools, structure, and real‑life skill development. Many families use both.

Why coaching?

Coaching supports autistic, neurodivergent, tweens, teens, and young adults and anyone else who would benefit from:

Clear routines
Step‑by‑step guidance
Support with planning, organizing, or follow‑through
Social communication and relational skills
Emotional or energy regulation strategies

Parents can also receive coaching to learn how to support these skills at home.

What happens in a coaching session?

Sessions are structured, collaborative, and tailored to the client. They may include:

Breaking tasks into manageable steps
Practicing skills through role‑play or real‑life scenarios
Building routines and visual supports
Reviewing progress and adjusting strategies
Problem‑solving challenges from school, home, or daily life

Clients leave each session with clear, actionable next steps.

Do parents participate in sessions?

Parent involvement varies based on age, goals, and client preference.

Younger clients often benefit from parent participation.
Teens and young adults may prefer more independence, with periodic check‑ins.

Valiant ensures parents stay informed and supported without undermining the client’s autonomy.

How long does coaching last?

There is no one‑size‑fits‑all timeline. Some clients work with Valiant for a few months to build specific skills; others benefit from longer‑term support as they navigate school transitions, independence, or changing responsibilities.
