3 Reasons Why The Time Is Now!
Reason 1
1. A growing segment of the global population needs
another type of support – Life Coaches, Parent
Coaches or Family Coaches – for improving the
quality of life and coaching schedules, sleep patterns,
bonding, relationships, behaviors, and empathy,
navigating the health systems, managing stressors or
time, or finances, and other aspects of daily living.

3 Reasons Why The Time Is Now!
CDC estimates 1 in 88 children (11.3 per 1,000) has been
identified with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD).This
marks a 23% increase since 2009.
Since 2007, a 78% increase on ADHD, one of the most
common disorders of childhood and often lasts into
adulthood.

6. From Caring to Coaching Special Needs
3 Reasons Why The Time Is Now!
Reason 2
The umbrella term “special needs” includes issues in
medical, behavioral, learning, developmental growth, and
mental health.
Reason 2 is to create a level of coaching support following
the US Dept of Education Parents as Teachers
program, which each state implements differently.

7. From Caring to Coaching Special Needs
3 Reasons Why The Time Is Now!
Reason 2
Parents helping and coaching parents was the reason for
forming ACPI in the first place.
Moreover many professionals in helping-type jobs need
extra income or want out of the rat race altogether.
A coaching business is the answer to both situations.You
have the natural, interpersonal skills and within 3-6 months,
you can complete training and certifications.
