  • 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.
