Hire A Coach

If you live in Orange, Riverside, or San Diego counties, TERI has trained Special Needs Life Quality Coaches who can help your family take action to navigate the system to help protect your finances, happiness and quality of life.  Coaches also work directly with a person with special needs, helping them meet personal goals or remove barriers that are keeping them from leading a life of contribution, belonging and quality. 

At this time, there is no state or federal funding for Special Needs Life Quality Coaching services.  The private pay fee for a TERI coach is $50 per hour, and the number of coaching hours you receive weekly or monthly is decided between you and your coach.  To speak with someone regarding how a coach can support you and your family, call Dr. Krysti DeZonia at 760-721-1706 or send a request to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

In addition to helping you take action to resolve immediate needs, Special Needs Life Quality Coaches can also help you implement a Special Needs Life Quality Plan.

Special Needs Life Quality Coaching is a new service for families, and we have highly qualified Coaches available in some, but not all, states in the U.S.  To see if there is a Coach in your area, contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
