SPACE to Grow

SPACE to Grow is a structured group coaching program — not therapy — designed to help parents of neurodivergent teens and young adults approach the future more calmly, make intentional plans, and support meaningful steps toward greater capability and independence.

I directly coach this group. The next cohort begins in September 2026.

For Clinicians

SPACE to Grow offers advanced training for clinicians, educators, and coaches who have completed the official 2-day SPACE training with Dr. Eli Lebowitz.

This clinician training focuses on an independent SPACE-informed approach for supporting autistic and neurodivergent teens, young adults, and their parents. It integrates core SPACE principles with neurodiversity-affirming practices, with particular attention to anxiety, avoidance, accommodations, burnout, capacity, autonomy, and family dynamics.
