Hi Rose, 

Thanks for reaching out! I have so much admiration for the Best Buddies Living program and currently have a matchmaking client that is living at one of their apartments. 

I am looking forward to our consultation call tomorrow at 6pm; I will call you at the number you provided - 571-278-9933. If you happen to be free now, my next coaching session canceled so I am available to speak on the phone/Zoom until around 2:20pm. 

In preparation for our consultation, let me share my matchmaking/coaching offerings below (scroll down beneath my email signature) for your review. I understand it's a lot of information. We can discuss your son's needs and goals on our call and determine whether we'd be a good fit for a coaching relationship.

Thanks!

Kate Woodward

Kate Woodward Coaching & Matchmaking Offerings

Matchmaking Package Information & Pricing: 

The packages my team offers are outlined on my website here (once on the page, scroll down and click on the package titles - they will expand and show you the different components each package contains). The Basic Package is not currently being offered. The Premium Package is $8,500.00 and you can book here. This contract lasts six months. The Elite Package is $11,500.00 and you can book here. This contract lasts up to one year. Matchmaking contracts are sent via our DocuSign program to your email address in order to be electronically signed. In these contracts you'll see that we offer one three month (for Premium Package) or six month (for Elite Package) hold per contract. This means that if we set you up with someone that you ultimately enter into a relationship with, you have the option of freezing your contract so you can pursue that connection. If it does not end up working out, you can then resume your matchmaking contract anytime within that three or six month time period.  

Coaching Package Information & Pricing:
I primarily offer dating coaching to both neurotypical and neurodivergent clients. However, I also offer social skills coaching to high school students or young adults that may be struggling socially due to living with autism, IDD, anxiety, etc. Most of these social skills sessions are a combination of discussion, PEERS-based lessons, role-play, and helping them sort through specific social challenges that are occurring in their lives. I block out two hours for a session but they typically last around 90 minutes. Most of my clients meet me at my office in downtown Bethesda at Industrious on 7200 Wisconsin Ave or at the Industrious location most convenient to them in the DMV. I'm open to discussing the possibility of home visits. If you decide to book, it will ask you to schedule the first session using the calendar tool. Don't worry if you don't see an available time that is ideal for you - just pick any of them and once you're a client we can easily reschedule it to a time that works best for your session. I tend to reserve Saturdays and other parts of the week for clients (these available times don't show up on the public calendar on my website).

Additionally, I understand that coaching and matchmaking can be too costly of an endeavor for many individuals or families. For the opportunity to potentially be set up on dates with one of our matchmaking clients, I'd be happy to add your son to our free singles database. It simply requires a 20-25 minute screening call with me during which I will get to know him, his lifestyle, and what he's seeking in a romantic partner. I'll use the information gathered during this call to build him a profile in our database, which is the first place my team looks for matches when we sign a new client. Frankly, though, with thousands of people in our database at this point the chance of being matched with one of our clients for a date is fairly slim. Being a part of the database also means he'll receive email invites from time to time to the singles events I host throughout the year. 

Another free resource I provide is my social group, Neurodivergent Friends & Dating in Washington, D.C., on Meetup.com. I do my best to schedule at least 2-3 gatherings a month (game nights, karaoke, cultural events, food hall meetups)  around the DMV though, admittedly, I have had to slow down due to my work schedule becoming more demanding. The majority of the attendees are young men between the ages of 25 and 35 though I've had some success getting more women to attend as of late. This may be an option if your son is looking for more friendships or social outings.
