What if navigating autism could become just a little easier?
Let’s co-create a personalized plan to get you the practical help you need.
We’ve all heard that no one can fully prepare you for the wild ride of special needs parenting (Welcome to Holland, amirite?)
But that doesn’t even begin to sum up:
the never-ending saga of school meetings, appointments, phone calls…
a complicated medical system that doesn’t always take you seriously
well-meaning friends and family members weighing in with off-the-mark advice
Even with the most fantastic team who genuinely cares about your child, it can be a challenging experience.
As an autistic adult who was involved in her own childhood IEP meetings and then became a teacher, please let me affirm you:
You deserve unwavering support from someone who has lived experience.
Let’s take a cue from Olivia Pope and fix it.
No matter how we work together, you can expect:
TRUSTED RESOURCES
Tried and true resources vetted by someone who has been there.
REASSURANCE
I promise to be straightforward with you so you know just how great you’re doing (because you are.)
CLARITY
My goal is to help you work through all those doom piles together so you can ditch that overhanging cloud of anxiety.
LISTS
Lists! I love lists. You want a list of lists? I’ve got you.
(best one tbh)
“You will want to work with Jill because she excels at creating an environment for learning and creativity, wrapped up in an affection that can’t be faked. We lucked out with Jill! I am forever grateful for her service and friendship with our family.”
Let’s set up a checklist…
Step 1: Make contact and set up a short meeting.
Step 2: Chat about your needs and make a plan.
Step 3: I’ll get to work and you take a little moment just for you.
I’m Jillian (she/her),
an experienced autism advocate and educator.
I hold a BA in Education and worked as a NC-licensed K-6 teacher for a decade. I work to create positive relationships with educators, schools, doctors, therapists, and whoever you want on your team to foster collaboration.
I draw on my background as a preschool and elementary teacher, nanny, camp counselor, and autistic former-child (despite what your Aunt Karen thinks, we DID exist in the 90's.)
Guided by a commitment to sustainable solutions and unwavering respect, I am a firm advocate for nurturing the growth and autonomy of children.
