“My child is taking the Dungeons & Dragons 2e Kids Coaching class with Elizabeth, and he absolutely loves it! He’s so excited for D&D that it’s become one of his favorite ways to spend time, and he always looks forward to it. Since joining the class, I’ve watched him grow in ways that amaze me—he approaches challenges with more confidence, collaborates more effectively with others, and thinks creatively to solve problems. He notices these changes himself, and I can already see how this experience is shaping skills that will benefit him for years to come. Thank you, Elizabeth!”
Reviews
“Throughout the process, Elizabeth has been amazing to work with — kind, communicative and available every step of the way. I can’t recommend her highly enough. ”
“[They were] absolutely RAVING about how much they love working with you, how you totally get them, and how they’re going to learn strategies they can actually use.”
“This class has helped me identify what people are thinking, not just [what they are] saying. Before, it was too confusing! I would tell other students to take this class because it is ENLIGHTENING and FUN.
”
“I have been a part of a [Dungeons and Dragons] class, and I love it. I used to be kind of quiet because I wasn’t sure about people, but now, not only do I interact more, but I also know more friends. I recommend the class..”

About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Smith PA, BCIA, PEERS, has a deep-rooted passion for empowering 2e and profoundly gifted children. Her journey into social coaching was personal: she was working as a physician assistant in psychiatry when her own 2e child needed support. Elizabeth discovered the evidence-based PEERS program from UCLA’s Semel Institute. After acquiring certification, Elizabeth researched best practices to affirm neurotypes and strategies to avoid masking and forced behavior. She has developed a unique, strengths-based approach– utilizing empathy, acceptance, and current research to empower children to meet their own goals.
When clients describe Elizabeth, they universally start by citing kindness and the individual attention she offers families. They come away from sessions knowing that they are not alone; they are equipped to find their places of belonging.
