John Comegys

John Comegys has over 20 years’ experience in assisting people with disabilities to find and maintain competitive employment. He has the terminal degree in vocational disabilities--a master’s degree in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling and is a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor.  John was a credentialed special education teacher for five years and earned an Interdisciplinary Professional Leadership Certificate in Autism in 2013 from Fresno Pacific University. Thus he combines the skills of a vocational expert with those of a special education teacher with advanced training in Autism. 

John facilitated four job clubs for adults on the autism spectrum in Sacramento, Modesto, and San Francisco for over 7 years and for the past full year online for the East Coast. His combination of extensive training in autism and vocational disabilities and personal insight into neurodiversity, Autism, ADHD, and learning disability allowed him to achieve unparalleled success in placing adults on the spectrum in competitive employment. He was awarded special recognition for his “outstanding contributions” to the job club by the Board of AASCEND for his work with the Autism Job Club of San Francisco.

His hobbies include singing in choirs and choruses, Second Tenor, and the Voynich Manuscript he has documented the “unknown’ alphabet and with his brother pioneered the hypothesis that it is from Mexico and is written in Nahuatl

(I know you are going to ask. Comegys rhymes with ‘rummages’, or alternatively can be pronounced comma-jeez. It is Dutch, Gys is a boy’s name in the Netherlands.)

Cheers, 

John
