Navigator Spotlight
Undivided Navigators bring their own personal experience and the experience of working with hundreds of families to connect parents with the expertise and resources they need to meet their goals.
Hi, I’m Jessica Coker-Lentz 👋
I have three unique and vastly different children who all fall somewhere on the neurodivergent continuum — 2E, autism, sensory processing disorder, AFRID, PDA, anxiety, depression, and executive functioning disorder.
What my experience as a Navigator has taught me:
My experiences have taught me that life often does not go the way we expect or plan, but if we just keep moving forward, we WILL find our way through and find the beauty and joy in the way things are. There is support available, and being in community with other people who can relate to what you are going through is so much more important than it seems.
My favorite self-care activities:
Escaping into a good book, especially at the beach, is my favorite way to care for myself. Camping in our RV, talking with good friends, and taking a nap are some other ways.
I have a hard time describing what a gift this actually is. This has been a solo excursion for me for so long, as it is for so many of us, that I didn’t even realize what having some help would feel like! Just to have a network of people, let alone the help that a Navigator can provide, is an incredible opportunity.”
