    Robin describes a little about herself:
    I am a professionally trained teacher and coach passionate about providing my clients with the best experience. As well as training, I have an in-depth understanding of the impacts of living with an Asperger's Profile and/or ADHD in a neurotypical world. My approach to coaching is client-centered and strength-based. I join with clients to work through obstacles and meet self-determined goals. For Neurodivergent adults, challenges are often rooted in neurological differences, which impact communication, executive function, and/or sensory regulation. As an experienced educator, I also understand learning disabilities, learning styles, accommodations, and a toolbox of strategies.
    Coaching and education services complement a variety of other professional services. When needed, I easily collaborate with other professionals and family members.


    I meet with clients via online video calls (worldwide). I also meet with clients in person, as agreed to be necessary and safe on a case-by-case basis.

To see why Stephanie sticks out her tongue at Dan, you will have to see the YouTube video.

    In this podcast, we discuss:
    Accommodating each other, seeing the marriage/family as a system, and sharing the mental load. Breaking down the steps of planning, having a vacation, and returning home from vacation.
