You have questions. I have answers.👇🏽
How do I know if the program is a good fit for me?
The program is geared toward neurodivergent teens and adults ages 14+ who are concerned about their lack of relationship knowledge and to get to the next level with real actionable education and solutions. It is for individuals who very much want to build healthy, safe relationships with people on both an emotional and sexual level.

You are worried about running afoul of the law in some way.
Who is the program NOT for?
Individuals needing mental health therapy for sexual trauma or advanced psychological challenges should first seek out counseling from a licensed therapist. There is no substitute for licensed, autism-informed and -affirming care, and this needs to be your priority right now. If you don't know where to find qualified help, please try contacting your local Autism Society or the Autism Response Team (ART) and asking for recommendations.
The course involves open-mindedness, self-reflection, and openness to exploring sexuality. Those not ready to engage in discussions or exercises may not benefit fully.
How long is the program?
The program is eight weeks of education and group coaching. You will have lifetime access to the digital course and handouts.
What does the schedule look like?
The group coaching calls are Tuesdays at 6 p.m. Mountain Time.
How does the 1:1 coaching work?
Once you are enrolled in the program, you will have the option of adding a package of eight individualized 1:1 coaching sessions from a highly skilled autism life skills coach who has worked with other autistic individuals on similar goals. You will meet with us to discuss what you are hoping to get out of coaching, and we will pair you with the best-fit coach from our team. You and the coach will set a SMART goal at the beginning and measure progress toward that goal as the sessions progress. Sessions will happen over Zoom, and are scheduled at a time that works for you and the coach.
What if I like my coach and want to continue beyond eight sessions?
This is absolutely fine. You will have the option to continue beyond the eight sessions if you like. The rates are always transparently published on the FAQ page of our website.
Is there a 1:1 coaching option for parents?
Yes, if you would like to also work 1:1 with a parent coach before, during, or after the program, we can pair you with someone who is trained in the SBN Parenting Framework™ that Patty created. If you would like to explore beginning 1:1 parent coaching now with a certified coach to get optimally prepared for success once the program begins, please schedule a complimentary consultation using the link on the contact page of this website.
What does the program cost?
The cost of the program will be a fraction of the cost if you were to invest in 1:1 training and coaching with Head Coach Jaclyn Hunt. You also get access to a community of others who "get" you and your situation, who are working on similar challenges, and who can provide support and encouragement during both your support pod meetings and in the online community. Stay tuned for more details.
I'm already overwhelmed. Are you sure I can do this?
You will have the benefit of lots of things that work in a very short period of time, but only you can decide if the timing is right for you.
