Comfortable Communication for College Students

Welcome to your next comfortable conversation!!!

We want to hear what you have to say.

Essig Education Group is excited to announce our new program: Comfortable Communication for College Students.  This 8-week, 8-student program is a safe, empowering space where students learn how to confidently and appropriately talk to professors, advisors, school advocates/ administrators, and peers –  while also strengthening executive function skills like planning, self-advocacy, and organization.

Are you ready to level up your communication and confidence next semester?

Comfortable Communication will combine social communication training with executive function strategies — teaching you how to approach professors, navigate difficult conversations, and manage your time and priorities effectively.

You’ll learn:

  • How to start and maintain formal or casual conversations

  • How to professionally ask for help or clarification

  • How to set healthy boundaries with roommates, peers, and professors

  • How to self-advocate while staying composed

  • How to use executive function skills to plan, prioritize, and communicate effectively

Comfortable Communication for College Students is led by Derrick Sherman, M.Ed.  As a behaviorist with over 12 years of experience in behavior therapy, Derrick applies evidence-based strategies rooted in applied behavior analysis to help students achieve significant progress. He is also an autism specialist, bringing deep expertise in designing individualized supports that foster communication, independence, and confidence in all students.

Our first 8-week session will begin on January 8, 2026. You can be one of the lucky 8 to join either our 5:30-7 section or our 7:30-9 section.  This program will meet each Thursday through February 26, 2026.
