Perspective changes everything. Curiosity creates possibility.

Coaching. Speaking. Consulting.
Partnering with blind and low-vision individuals, the people who support them, and organizations committed to meaningful inclusion.

The barriers that shape our lives are often the ones we don't see.

Sometimes they're physical. More often, they're assumptions, expectations, or systems built with good intentions that unintentionally leave people behind. The good news is that when we begin to look at challenges from a different perspective, new opportunities begin to emerge.

That's what my work is about—helping people and organizations discover what's possible when they rethink barriers, embrace new perspectives, and move forward with confidence.

Who I help

Families

Questions Many Families Are Asking

Am I doing everything I can now to help my child build independence for the future?
What are the options after graduation, and how do we figure out which path makes sense?
When should I step in to support my child—and when should I step back?
How do we turn our hopes for the future into realistic goals and a plan for getting there?

You don’t have to figure it all out on your own. I help families understand the options ahead, identify what their child can be working toward now, and

create a meaningful roadmap for adulthood that reflects their strengths, goals, and circumstances.

Students & Young Adults

Figuring Out What Comes Next

The transition to adulthood can bring a lot of questions. What do I want to do? Am I ready for college or work? How do I become more independent? What do I do when I don’t know how to handle something?

I help students and young adults connect the dots between where they are now and where they want to go—building practical skills, confidence, self-advocacy, and a clearer understanding of the steps ahead.

Schools & Community Organizations

Preparing Students for What Comes Next

Sometimes the biggest barriers to a successful transition aren’t addressed by a single class, service, or program. Students may need more practice with communication, problem-solving, employment readiness, self-advocacy, or understanding how the pieces of adult life fit together. Families may also need guidance to reinforce that growth outside of school.

I provide training, consultation, and program support that helps organizations identify these gaps and create practical opportunities for students and families to build readiness for life after high school.

Businesses & Employers

Building More Inclusive Workplaces

Creating an inclusive workplace takes more than knowing the right terminology or meeting accessibility requirements. It requires understanding how assumptions, attitudes, communication, and everyday practices affect the experiences and opportunities of people with disabilities.

Through interactive training, presentations, and consultation, I help organizations approach disability inclusion with greater knowledge, curiosity, and confidence.

“You had a very big impact on helping me in my life. I recently went to my first baseball tournament. It’s been a really great experience. It definitely helped my confidence quite a bit and got me a lot of connections to the community. Thank you for pushing me!”

“Working with Marisol as a young adult has truly been a game changer. There was a point in my college journey when I felt lost and questioned whether I had what it took to stay on the right path and be successful. She helped me become more organized in setting goals for my daily life, taught me how to be more proactive in working toward them, and helped me develop accountability and the confidence to speak up and ask for help when I needed it. Marisol created a space where I always felt comfortable being open and honest about the challenges I was facing. Her positive attitude, passion, and encouragement made all the difference in the world. I will continue to utilize the lessons she taught me to help me navigate my life in the way I want it, and I am confident that anything I set my mind to I can accomplish.”
