Comment: | Coaching Asperger's offers a new service, Family Coaching, using phone and Internet, specifically for families living with Asperger's Syndrome. The Family Coaching Programme is designed to:
+ give families better ways of communicating,
+ help them get past short term difficulties
+ support them in agreeing and working towards longer term goals.
The ultimate aim, of course is that the person with Asperger's lives an independent and autonomous life, safely and happily.
Family Coaching is designed to support parents and child in adjusting their behaviour, communication and understanding of each other so that there is the maximum dose of positive experiences available, and so that the person with Asperger's can be supported in achieving what they want to achieve in a ordinary way as possible.
For some people, one to one coaching may be a more effective solution than Family Coaching: depending on circumstances, a person with Asperger's Syndrome may prefer long term direct coaching, face to face (if in London) or by phone. |
