About Grace

Grace Casper is a Certified Professional Coach (CPC) with over a decade of experience walking alongside individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) as an advocate, coach, and trusted companion.
 

Grace’s background spans coaching, research, consulting, management, and community engagement, but her greatest passion lies in helping adults with disabilities build confidence, practice real-life skills, and find their voice in a world that often underestimates them. Whether she’s role-playing conversations, navigating public spaces together, or teaching everyday life skills, Grace believes growth happens best through relationship, practice, and presence.


From inclusive summer camps to managing a local coffee shop where she hired and coached employees with IDD, Grace has seen firsthand the transformative power of advocacy, belonging, and self-belief. These experiences shaped her coaching approach—one that centers dignity, autonomy, and celebrating each person’s strengths.
 

Through her coaching practice, Grace provides relationship-based, experiential coaching that supports adults with disabilities in navigating friendships, dating, daily life, and work. She is known for being her clients’ biggest champion—advocating fiercely, encouraging steadily, and walking with them as they step into fuller, more connected lives.
