NESCA's Real-Life Skills Coaching
For students with neurological, social, emotional, organizational and/or learning differences, hands-on instruction in real world environments is a critical means of developing skills for postsecondary living, learning and working. NESCA is pleased to offer individualized home- and community-based coaching services delivered by seasoned Occupational Therapists (OTs) and Transition Specialists to support the needs of transition-age youth . Our clinicians help clients build skills to assist with:

• Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)—everyday, basic tasks that allow a person to both function and thrive (e.g. following a morning routine, hygiene, sleep hygiene etc.)
• Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs)—more complex tasks that allow a person to live and thrive independently, and to address transitions specifically to employment or college/training environments (e.g. travel training, grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, applying for jobs, interview skills, self advocacy, etc.)

NESCA's Executive Function (EF) Coaching
NESCA offers executive function coaching for students from elementary school through adulthood who are looking to bolster their organization, scheduling, time management, goal setting, and routine building skills.
