Our Mission, our Passion......to provide comprehensive services which
enrich the lives of neurodiverse teens and adults.
Welcome to EvoLibri! We are located in Sunnyvale, California, on the northern edge of Silicon Valley, and are dedicated to enriching the lives of our neurodiverse clientele, ages 14 and up, by providing:
Because neurodiverse individuals have many different needs, we develop customized, comprehensive life strategies that serve all aspects of our clients' lives -- vocational, educational, psychological, social/emotional, and transition to independence -- all in one well-designed, workable plan.
We work with a multidisciplinary network of professionals, who bring years
of personal experience with neurodiversity along with solid training in the areas of counseling/psychotherapy, career counseling, transitional counseling and training, functional, psychological and career assessment, secondary and post-secondary education, and job development. We tie the program together with ongoing counseling and case management.
We serve individuals who have Autistic Spectrum Disorders (HFA, AS, NLD, PPD-NOS), Attention Deficit Disorders (AD/HD), Learning Disorders (LD), and long-term anxiety/mood disorders (dysthymia, bipolar, OCD, panic and anxiety disorders), as well as other early-onset challenges. We understand our clients' unique struggles, and we understand the larger world in which they must function -- working together, we build bridges to personal success.

School's In Session! UPCOMING for Fall 2010...

Talk that Talk! This is NOT your boring old social skills class -- instead, it's a wacky, instructive and engaging way for teens to continue to work on their social skills. Drawing from popular culture running from Family Guy and Vampires Suck, using insanely fun games such as What's My Line?, Gorillas and Fairies, and Speed Dial Telephone, this class will teach reciprocity, inference, voice modulation and social communication strategies. Ages 14-19.

Club Engaged. This experiential class is designed for those older teens who are looking to deepen their social relationships by learning trust, empathy, relatedness, confidentiality, and friendship in social settings. Ages 17-22.
