Coaching that works the way you work
Whether you're Deaf or hard of hearing, blind or low vision, neurodivergent, or just think and process your own way, you're welcome here. Tell me what helps, and we'll build it in. No extra cost, no explanation required.
In our sessions
All sessions are by video. Just ask for any of these, at no extra cost:
- Live captions. Google Meet has built-in captions, and Zoom or Microsoft Teams are available on request if those work better for you.
- Camera off, or chat. Join with your camera off, or use the chat when typing is easier than talking.
- An agenda ahead of time, so you know what we'll cover and nothing catches you off guard.
- A brief written recap after each session with your commitments for next time, so you don't have to take notes or remember everything.
- Breaks, a slower pace, or extra processing time. Pausing, fidgeting, moving around or thinking out loud are all welcome.
- Shorter sessions spread out, if you need that as an accommodation.
- Materials in the format you prefer: digital, larger print, or screen-reader friendly where possible.
- Reminders before sessions and for any between-session steps.
Taking an assessment
Assessments are taken online, on your own device, so you can use your usual screen reader, zoom or other tools, and go at your own pace. If you need a specific accommodation, tell me before you buy. I'll check what the assessment's publisher allows and walk you through your options. In your debrief, we can go as slowly as you like and focus on what matters most to you.
This website
I aim to make this site work for everyone, following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.2, level AA) as closely as I can. The site has readable text contrast, works with a keyboard and screen readers, includes text descriptions for images, respects your device's "reduce motion" setting, and lets you zoom in without breaking the layout.
If anything is hard to use, please tell me and I'll fix it.
How to ask
Email peoplefirstcoach@gmail.com, call or text 804-372-5818, or mention it in your booking notes or on your free discovery call. You don't need to share a diagnosis. Just tell me what helps.
