Spectrum Success: First Year Academic College Coaching

​

Is your student feeling increased anxiety, overwhelm, and a sense of isolation during their first year of college as an autistic student?

​

Kelvin Smith, a PhD level autistic adult with lived experience is uniquely positioned to provide both expert academic guidance and authentic mentorship. This approach blends academic coaching with empathetic understanding of the sensory, social, and executive functioning challenges that autistic students commonly face in transition to college.

 

​The 8-week personalized coaching program offers one-on-one support emphasizing executive functioning skill-building tailored to academic success (time management, organization, task initiation) but framed within lived autistic experience for relatability.

​​

This model supports autistic students not only academically but psychologically, increasing retention, fostering authentic self-advocacy, and building community. It bridges expertise and lived experience to offer a coaching partnership that truly understands the layered challenges and unique talents of autistic first-year students.
