Organizations Life Sherpa is Working With
“Life Sherpa has allowed us to help students gain more independence in their life by using the app in conjunction with staff instruction to help with Executive Functioning deficits. Using the Life Sherpa data in conjunction with their teaching has given the staff greater opportunities to teach a skill and deepen their interactions.”
Ric Kienzle
Director, College Living Experience - Rockville
“Life Sherpa has been a great resource to help teach new skills to our daughter and maintain skills over time. It allows us to help her stay on a routine with more independence and success.”
Ric
"PHILLIPS is delighted to partner with Life Sherpa and their newly developed app to support independence for youth with behavioral health needs served by PHILLIPS in their work place. The Life Sherpa app empowers our transitioning youth with executive functioning needs with the tools they need to navigate the work site successfully reducing the need for a job coach. The app provides real time data, prompts, and reinforcers for the youth, and to their multi disciplinary school team. Leveraging technology with the use of the Life Sherpa app allows youth to take charge and experience a successful employment experience. This is exciting!"

Our Story
Life-Sherpa grew out of a personal quest for Doug Meeker. When his son was diagnosed with autism at age 3, Doug set out to teach Scott the skills to become an independent adult. This journey connected him with autism therapist Curt Byers, other experts and parents — and led to creating a mobile platform to help drive behavioral changes and accelerate progress.
