We have worked with Debra Solomon for more than a year and have been very pleased with her services. Debra has provided guidance and coaching implementing her exceptional knowledge of the business world. Debra is a passionate, dedicated professional who gives 150% to her clients.

-Alisa & Ben G.

I’ve been working with Debra since 2014. At the time I started working with her, I was at a low point in my job search having finished a graduate level degree two years prior. I had worked with other job coaches who didn’t specialize in or understand the Autism spectrum to minimal success on the job front. Debra understands that people on the spectrum need to take a different approach to the job search, and after working with her for two years on cover letters, elevator pitches, resumes and interview strategy, I landed a job in the exact field I wanted. I’ve continued to work with her since, and it has helped getting settled in a working environment.

In a few short sessions with Debra, I had a better idea of what I wanted in a career and a detailed plan to help get me there. I would definitely recommend working with her.

Debra has been a tremendous asset and has helped me organize and stream line my professional goals. Finding the right professional and career path can be overwhelming for anyone. Debra has helped me by creating a step by step process. Combined with the professional expertise, her personal experience, and warmth and compassion, she is the perfect job coach for me and for many other adults with A.S.D.

-Jennifer

We have known Debra for the past year and have employed her as a life coach for one of our sons. It has been a pleasure for us to deal with her. We have found her to be a phenomenal coach who is genuinely interested and enthusiastic in helping her clients achieve their potential. She is patient, compassionate, creative and persistent in her efforts to accomplish her stated goals. Debra also arranges group outings and facilitates attendance at relevant educational programs.

Perry & Sylvia

We recognized from the very beginning coaching was the right way to go to help our daughter. Debra has given her the tools such as self-advocacy, time management, and organizational skills, in order to build a foundation in her personal life as well as her academic environment. Our daughter has built a trust with Debra and is more open to exploring the unknown. We are continually working together to build upon each goal.
