A chance encounter with one child on the autism spectrum shaped what I have found to be an extremely rewarding career filled with diversity, inclusion, and enhancing experiences for people with various needs. Today I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), a special education and IEP advocate, and a mom of three. I help families navigate IEPs and 504 plans, prepare for school meetings, and turn evaluations and school language into clear next steps. I also share real-life parenting and IEP help on Instagram as @mommingonvibes. After earning my MSW, I spent nearly 20 years in clinical, educational, special-needs and community settings, building programs, training staff and supporting families. I provide customized ideas for schools, nonprofits and corporations, broadening their perspectives as it relates to tailoring solutions for neurodivergent people, their families, and other areas of supportive services. While some successful formulas are repeatable, every community is unique. I believe that in order to truly lend a helping hand it’s important to not only have experience to draw upon, but the ability to have a community-based perspective with an understanding that impact is made through empathy. Having built a portfolio of programs and services that meet communal interests and needs, a track record at which I worked tirelessly to amass, I aim to expand my reach as a consultant. I have built programs from the ground up and enhanced existing ones, with both processes stemming from a passion to provide comfort and guidance for families. My entire career revolves around a deep-rooted belief that all people should feel some sense of belonging. https://www.amandagabelconsulting.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2022-01-31 https://www.amandagabelconsulting.com/contact daily 0.75 2022-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196e13ac63ced0bb02a520b/b4a14149-75d8-4384-991a-5e4c747c3593/20211127_Gabel_Consulting_0371.jpg Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.amandagabelconsulting.com/services daily 0.75 2022-02-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6196e13ac63ced0bb02a520b/85c66fc2-6404-4259-b881-1a3119caf43a/20211127_Gabel_Consulting_0102.jpeg Services - Equipping you with the right tools My expertise spans across: Improving the culture of inclusion Developing new and expanded program offerings (with an eye toward continuous improvement of existing programs) Cross-departmental support Creating and enhancing curriculum Professional development & Workplace Learning Coaching (group & personal) Support groups Navigating and assessing funding sources https://www.amandagabelconsulting.com/consulting-services daily 0.75 2022-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847904871-IJY33BXSJQA0OIFROI1H/image-asset.jpeg Consulting Services - consulting services Support in enhancing existing programs Support in expanding programmatic offerings such as early childhood to adults programming for individuals with special needs, community-based experiences, inclusion models, sensory gym Navigating and assessing funding sources.
