Karen Connects, Mentors and Supports Parents, Professionals and Those on the Spectrum
I have been working with individuals on the autism spectrum and others who learn differently, as well as those who educate, coach, mentor, and develop programs for them, for over 35 years.
Part of my mission is to help schools, centers and agencies, identify the strengths and challenges of their programs and services and strengthen and expand them to meet the growing needs of those who live daily on the spectrum or with different learning abilities. An equally key part of my mission is in helping care providers and families nurture independence so their individuals can lead the most positive adult life.
Whether you are an individual with learning differences, administrator, director, educator, clinician, parent or care provider, I look forward to helping you discover the most effective tools, systems, interventions, and resources.

““Karen does what it takes, knows the field of special education for these children, and shares her knowledge with those who need it.””
““Karen understands and connects with our children and works tirelessly to create services and opportunities for them.””
“Karen Kaplan has been an extremely generous and informed source in our quest to seek information about creating an effective IEP program for our kindergarten age child. She is timely in her responses and very to the point. Her advice is practical and she derives her advice from her decades as an educator and policy maker in Marin. We are beyond grateful for her help and will continue to use her service as we move forward. ”
