About the role
HIPAA-compliant life coach with specialized experience assisting, motivating, and evaluating adult individuals with a wide range of developmental disabilities. As a residential coach, I worked to assist clients in developing realistic goals and life plans, tracking their progress towards goals, motivating individuals to make healthy and positive changes regarding health and wellness, advocating for improved use of community resources, documenting daily encounters and periodic progression notes, and aiding clients in developing effective social, emotional, and intellectual decision-making skills. A high priority was placed on maintaining maximum levels of independence and autonomy in disabled individuals.
