  • LifeMAP Clinical Hour

    Virtual

    Description
    These meetings have been established to create a group discussion where LifeMAP coaches, Intensive Autism Coach Training (IACT) graduates, and Autism Professional Coaches Association (APCA) members can share ideas and strategies on how to assist clients in various situations in coaching sessions. We also have the added guidance and expertise of coaches who have been with the program since its inception and these meetings have been designed to help coaches better meet a variety of needs with our clients. They are very informative sessions that have been well received by our coaching staff. We catch up on any new training ideas and/or workshops that address issues that are common topics of discussion.

    How do we best serve our community?
    When do we collaborate with therapists, family members, guardians, teachers, etc.?
    When and where can we be present to advocate for our clients, such as on the job, school, counselors?
    Follow up distribution of notes to those who attend with information on what was addressed and listing any material on support services that may be of assistance, (ie. various platforms where clients can join, such as virtual games, support, and social groups, and educational sites (ie. Khan Academy) and so forth.

  • Multi-Session Support Group for Parents of Gender Diverse Adults & Teens (14+)

    Recurring
    Virtual

    This multi-session support group is designed for parents/family members of Autistic adults and teens with who are transgender or who are exploring or questioning their gender identity.

    Gender identity is distinct from sexual orientation or preference. Gender identity is one’s innermost concept of self as male, female, a blend of both or neither–how individuals perceive themselves and what they call themselves. Autistic individuals may be more likely to identify with a gender/s that is different than the sex assigned at birth. The intersection of these two identities is common, but not often talked about in the same space. When an adult child questions their gender identity parents are often initially overwhelmed by questions and concerns, and more questions may surface as their child continues on their journey. This is not a therapeutic support group.

    The group offers a combination of facilitated peer support and information for parents who are starting or continuing on this journey with their child. “Closed” support groups for parents have the same members (12) for a set number of sessions (8). These groups are ideal for parents who want to go beyond sharing their stories with newcomers each time at open support group meetings. Other adult family members, such as siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, or even close family friends can also join these groups. These closed support groups also let parents give voice to their concerns and frustrations and celebrate their victories. “Closed” support groups offer facilitated peer support for parents who are facing these and other challenges.
