Kelly - Autism/ADHD Career Coach and Consultant for Teens and Adults

I utilize multiple innovative elements that impact my work which is individualized to suit everyone’s needs:

​

-Design Thinking- This is a problem-solving process that shows the way to perceive a problem and solve it. The following 4 steps are involved in the design process:  Empathize, design, ideate, prototype, test. 

-Human Centered Design- Involves building a deep empathy with people I work with, generating ideas and prototyping concepts. A key to solving these social or organizational problems is understanding the individual, their needs, goals, expectations, and capabilities. To achieve this, Design Thinking through the lens of HCD relies on explorative research and empathizing with the individuals for whom the coaching is to be designed. 

-Behavior Science- Using behavioral science for problem-solving will make us address the deeper whys of our behaviors. It is established that Design is a knowledge-based process that is ever-evolving. Merging behavioral sciences to advance this knowledge is the only natural step forward to addressing complex social problems. 

-Universal Design for Learning- This involves offering each individual or organization multiple means of representation, multiple means of engagement, and multiple means of expression.

-Instructional Design- A needs Analysis using backward design as the catalyst is utilized to establish the desired goals in designing an appropriate program to achieve a successful outcome. 

-Adult Learning Theory- Involves the use of each individual’s motivation, previous experience and knowledge, goals which are task oriented, based on their own problem solving skills, and is self-directed.​
