When You Look At Your Child, You See Their Potential

You know how intelligent they are and you see the way their mind works, how they can focus deeply, solve problems, notice patterns others miss.

But despite their abilities, the traditional job market often doesn’t know how to recognise or support autistic strengths. We understand that this can create frustration and worry for the entire family.

Our goal is to turn potential into opportunity.

Hi I am Guy,

In high school I was a B student and, as someone with dyslexia, I found college courses challenging. Fortunately, my father taught me landscaping skills, and I began working in landscape maintenance. While I was grateful for the work, I knew it wasn’t something that fulfilled me long term.

That changed when I met Al Schwerdt, Executive Director of Ability Counts Inc. in Riverside, California. The organisation provided vocational training for adults with developmental disabilities. I asked if I could give it a try—and he hired me to teach landscape maintenance skills.

Very quickly, I discovered something that truly inspired me: helping others learn and grow.

Watching the individuals we worked with complete projects and feel proud of what they had accomplished was incredibly rewarding. They weren’t just doing tasks—they were gaining confidence, independence, and the satisfaction of earning their own paychecks.

I spent the next 15 years working as a Job Coach, helping adults with developmental disabilities develop practical skills and confidence in the workplace.

Later, I was promoted to Case Responsible Person, where I worked closely with Regional Center Consumer Services Coordinators. Together, we reviewed individual goals, monitored progress, and supported clients with a wide range of needs, including:

  • Autism

  • Cerebral Palsy

  • Down Syndrome

  • Epilepsy

  • Other developmental and mental health conditions

I continued in this role for another 16 years.

During this time, I began to notice something important.

Many of my autistic clients were far more capable than the jobs they were placed in. Some were earning driver’s licenses, taking college courses, and demonstrating strong intellectual abilities. Yet when they applied for more challenging roles, they often found themselves pushed back into the same landscape maintenance positions.

To me, it felt like an enormous amount of talent was being overlooked.

I also saw the quiet frustration of parents—parents who were doing everything they could to help their child build an independent future. Many of them hoped their child would one day find meaningful employment, allowing them to thrive on their own.

And perhaps, finally, allowing the parents to move into the next stage of their own lives with peace of mind.

Career Direction & Job Preparation Programme

The first step is helping your child understand where their strengths and abilities fit best in the professional world.

STEP 1: PERSONAL CONSULTATION

We begin with a structured Zoom meeting with both the parent and the individual.

STEP 2: CAREER STRENGTH ASSESSMENTS

Your child will complete five specialised assessments through Jobtimize to identify where they are most likely to perform well in a career environment.

STEP 3: RESULTS & CAREER PATH GUIDANCE

We review the results together in a follow-up session and identify potential technical or analytical job paths that align with your child’s abilities.

STEP 4: JOB PREPARATION

We help prepare your child for entering the workforce. Mock interviews and guided feedback help build confidence and readiness.
