Autism Academic Coaching 

 Welcome to Spectrum Success: First Year Academic College Coaching, dedicated to helping first-year college students on the autism spectrum build academic and executive functioning skills. These skills increase higher academic achievement and retention rates.

 

As an autistic adult with a PhD, I understand the unique challenges you face in college. I will support you with practical tools and strategies created from my own experiences and proven techniques. 

 

My 8-week personalized coaching program offers one-on-one support to develop effective academic skills essential for students. This includes academic planning and prioritization, time management strategies, organization of study materials, boosting focus and working memory, academic self-advocacy, and task initiation and completion.

I have positioned my program as an investment in student success, confidence, and college retention. I look forward to working with students and families seeking authentic expert-led support.

DISCOVERY CALL

Kelvin invites you to schedule a complimentary first step talk. He will share more details about the program, answer your questions, and ask the student to talk about their challenges and goals. 

SPECTRUM VOICES

Kelvin and LaRita will inspire hope and motivation by presenting authentic perspectives and lived experiences. We will promote understanding and inclusion to a wider audience. We serve as role models showing that with determination, persistence, and self-advocacy, individuals with autism can overcome barriers and set ambitious goals.

Testimonials

Autism Academic Success Coaching

I like Kelvin’s voice, speaking ability, temperament, and how he communicates.

Student

Academic Coaching designed for Autistic Learners

I appreciated the specific examples/problems that were solved as a class. I think the lesson was extremely helpful. The examples helped me understand the concepts.

Student

Autism Academic Coaching/Executive Function

The use of examples helped me learn to apply the equations usefully. The lecture allowed me to better understand things I didn’t grasp while reading the text.
