Social Behavioural Coaching

Navigate Social Dynamics Confidently

Social and Behavioural Coaching is designed for post-secondary students who experience barriers related to social interaction, communication, or behaviour in academic settings. This service is especially valuable for students who are neurodivergent, including those on the Autism Spectrum.

Our Learning Coaches work collaboratively with students to build interpersonal skills, strategies for navigating social situations, and confidence in both academic and campus life. We help students feel more connected, supported, and empowered throughout their studies.

Social and Behavioural Coaching is often covered by the Canada Student Grant for Services and Equipment for Students with Disabilities (CSG-DSE). We collaborate with post-secondary accessibility offices to guide students through the funding process and ensure timely access to the supports they need.

Social and Behavioural Coaching Can Help You With:

Communicating with Instructors: coaching on when/how to email professors, ask for clarification, or request accommodations.

Conflict Resolution: managing disagreements with peers or instructors in constructive ways.
Building friendships: practicing initiating and maintaining social conversations.
Reading Social Cues: recognizing body language, tone, and facial expressions.
Joining Clubs and Activities: support in exploring interests and building connections outside of class.
