Mandy Staehler
CO-FOUNDER, MA-SPED, MBA, PEERS® Certified Instructor, Owner of Dating With Autism
As a relationship coach for neurodiverse individuals, I help people develop social skills based on their own ideas of relationships: friendships, dating, or connections based on common interests. I also facilitate adult social skills groups using the scientifically-validated PEERS® for Young Adults curriculum. I've been in the special education field since 2009. Along with planning fun community events and owning my relationship coaching business, I also support secondary special education in schools. I enjoy anything outside, going to parks, and working with various summer camps. I love living in Denver with my husband, our two young children, and our dog, Huckleberry.
