Three ways to build independence, together.

Communication Partner & AAC

Real-World Practice

Navigating natural, community-based conversations outside the therapy room.

Fitness, Movement & Swim

Foundational Wellness

Focusing on motor planning and nervous system regulation.

Vocational & Skill Building

Job Coaching

Soft-skill training and workplace communication support.

Independent Living Skills (ILS) & Executive Functioning

Building predictable routines, managing time, and practicing task initiation — plus schedules and cooking.

Ceramics Instruction

Tactile, sensory exploration that helps build focus and fine-motor skills.

Safe, De-Escalation-Informed Support

Sessions run by a CPI-certified coach, trained in calm, respectful crisis prevention.

Approach

Coaching that meets each client where they are.

Start

Understand the goal

Sessions begin by listening — to the client, and to the people who know them best — to set goals that actually matter to them.

Build

Practice in real settings

Skills are built where they'll be used: at the pool, on the job floor, at the store, in conversation — not just on paper.

Own

Hand over the reins

Support tapers on purpose. The goal is always a client who can direct their own life with confidence.

For SDP Families

Flexible funding, without the added stress.

SDP

Self-Determination Program

As an enrolled SDP vendor, Richard can be added directly to a participant's spending plan — giving families the choice to work with him as part of their individual budget.

Private Pay

Direct Sessions

Available directly for families outside the program, or looking to add sessions beyond their funded hours.

New to the Self-Determination Program? SDP gives families more say over who supports them — including choosing an independent, specialized coach like Richard rather than a larger agency. If you're not sure whether SDP or private pay fits your family, reach out and we can figure it out together.
