What Is Autism Life Coaching?
Autism life coaching is a specialized form of coaching designed to support autistic and neurodivergent adults in building practical life skills, executive functioning, social confidence, and independence. Unlike therapy, coaching is forward-focused and action-oriented — working on real-world goals like managing a household, navigating workplace dynamics, or building meaningful relationships.
ASD Life Coaches was founded by Jaclyn Hunt, widely recognized as the pioneer of autism life coaching. Based in New Jersey, we offer both virtual and in-person coaching sessions to clients throughout the state and beyond. Our team of trained coaches brings over a decade of experience working directly with autistic adults and their families.
Why New Jersey Families Choose ASD Life Coaches
As a New Jersey-based practice, we understand the local landscape of services and funding for autistic adults. ASD Life Coaches is an approved vendor for the New Jersey Department of Developmental Disabilities (DDD), which means eligible New Jersey residents can use their DDD funding to pay for coaching services at no out-of-pocket cost.
If you or your loved one receives DDD services, our team can guide you through the process of using your funding for life coaching. We work closely with DDD support coordinators across New Jersey to ensure a smooth experience from the first consultation through ongoing sessions.
