MEET OUR STAFF
Jill Schieber, LCSW, ASDCS
Jill Schieber is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Specialist. She has worked in the field of Social Work for 40 years.
Having worked extensively with individuals and families of neurodivergent and developmentally delayed adult children for 25 years, it became apparent that making and keeping friends is especially hard for these individuals.
For the typically developing adult, making, and keeping friends is often a difficult task. For those who have challenges, this can be close to impossible due to their unique circumstances. Many become isolated and understandably depressed as a result.
For these reasons, Jill decided to create The Friendship Remedy; to personally connect people as well as help to create meaningful long-term friendships. She feels everyone should have the ability to engage in and experience healthy friendships.
