At Claudia Cares Consulting, Inc. we believe that every individual with a disability has the right to live a Self-Determined, independent, and fulfilling life.
We believe that individuals with disabilities should get to choose how they spend their time, who they spend it with, and who will help them reach their goals.
We believe in meeting people where they're at, helping them uncover their strengths and their goals, and supporting them to reach those goals.
consulting
A customized approach to meet your child and family’s needs. We provide hands-on and individualized support including parenting, services navigation, and comprehensive planning for the future.
Positive Parenting
You may be concerned that your child is simply not ready for adult life. Perhaps they exhibit behaviors that are disruptive to the family unit, ultimately interfering with their success. Yet, instead of being able to respond to these behaviors with the patience or level-headedness you would like to have, you may find that you and your family are growing more and more frustrated exhausted, and overwhelmed. Positive parenting is the solution.
Assessments
We offer a variety of behavior and mental health assessments in order to provide targeted recommendations for future planning.
Relationship & Sexuality Coaching
Teenagers and young adults with disabilities want the same things as everyone else- love, intimacy, and romantic relationships. However, more than half of individuals with disabilities receive no sex education in schools at all, and many more receive education that is not sufficient. CCC is proud to be able to provide 1:1 coaching with individuals around dating, relationships, and sex & sexuality.
