OUR STORY

The Life Skills Co. was founded by Stephanie Angelides, a Certified Family Life Educator-Provisional (CFLE-P), New York State certified teaching assistant and mother of a child with significant support needs.

Drawing on lived experience, professional education and years of navigating everyday skill-building at home, Stephanie created The Life Skills Co. to address a gap she saw repeatedly: Families of children with disabilities and special needs are often given recommendations, but receive far less support turning those recommendations into practical routines, tools and systems that work in everyday life.

Her work sits at the intersection of family education, disability and practical skill development, with a focus on helping families and the professionals who support them build skills and greater independence across everyday environments.

The Life Skills Co. brings those perspectives together through family education, professional resources, workshops and practical implementation support — helping turn recommendations into routines, visual supports and strategies that can be used consistently at home and in the community.

OUR APPROACH

OUR APPROACH

Support that starts with the family—and works in real life.

The Life Skills Co. takes a collaborative approach to everyday skill development. With family permission, strategies can be aligned with recommendations from occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, educators, behavior professionals and other members of an individual's support team — helping turn professional recommendations into practical routines that can be used consistently in everyday life.

The Life Skills Co. provides family life education, practical resources and implementation support. Services are designed to complement — not replace — clinical, therapeutic or educational services.
