International students with autism

In brief

Content of the coaching

I am available for coaching conversations with autistic students at the University of Groningen, at all levels (Ba, Ma, Phd). The coaching sessions aim at improving your everyday functioning during your time as a student. I can support you in planning your activities and tasks and structuring your week. We will work together to achieve balance and control. The goal is for you to become more independent. This will allow you to move forward with your autism.

Because I have experience as an autistic student and researcher, I can also support you with study-related challenges, such as transitions to a different level, reading and writing skills, group work or writing a thesis.

Who can I help?

I only offer coaching to students at the University of Groningen.

Ik cannot help students who are a danger for themselves or me (e.g. who are suïcidal or agressive) or wo are in an acute psychiatric crisis (e.g. psychosis or severe depression).

My coaching falls under the scope of the Dutch wmo. In only work with personal care budgets, not with something called ZIN. You can also pay out of your own pocket.

At the moment I am not able to offer coaching that falls under the scope of the Dutch WLZ.
