Coaching for Autistic Adults in New York
From New York City to the Finger Lakes and Western New York, autistic and neurodivergent adults across the state want the same thing: practical, respectful support that helps them build the life they actually want. ASD Life Coaches works with clients throughout New York over secure video, so where you live never limits the help you can reach.
Our coaching is forward-focused and action-oriented, building executive functioning, independent living, social confidence, and self-advocacy skills at a pace that fits your nervous system, not someone else's timeline.
How autism funding works in New York
New York's services for autistic adults are administered by the Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD). Eligible individuals enter through the OPWDD “Front Door,” connect with a Care Coordination Organization (CCO), and enroll in the Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) Waiver.
Many New York families choose OPWDD's Self-Direction option, which lets them build an individualized budget and direct their own supports, including independent living skills and community habilitation. Because self-directed budgets can often be used for skill-building supports, it is worth asking your care coordinator whether life coaching can be included in your plan. You can reach OPWDD's information line at 1-866-946-9733.
