Hi, I'm Syd Turner
"I believe that every child deserves a path to independence, and every parent deserves a partner they can trust."
With over 6 years of experience as a special education teacher, I’ve seen firsthand how the "system" can leave families feeling overwhelmed and alone. I’ve guided students from kindergarten through post-high school in developing the life skills and confidence they need to succeed.
I realized that the real breakthroughs often happen when families have the right support outside the classroom. That’s why I founded Grow Autism Coaching.

The Expert Partner You Need
I received my degree from Utah State University with a double major in Elementary Education and Special Education, emphasizing severe disabilities.
