Autism Services
Neurodiversity Affirming Services for Autism
Neurodiversity-affirming speech therapy is an approach that embraces and acknowledges the strengths, interests, and unique communication styles of neurodivergent individuals.
In the past, speech and language therapy for autistic or neurodiverse individuals focused on “fixing” the client to conform to neurotypical norms. We know better now, so we do better!
We aim to create a safe, fun and supportive environment to develop supports, strategies, and skills focusing on their unique neurotype, preferences, values, and goals. We help build on strengths, promote self-advocacy and enhance communication skills.
We also offer Gestalt Language Processor (GLP) therapy using the Natural Language Acquisition Framework. All of our therapists have taken additional education and training in this area.
Parent involvement is pivotal by actively participating in the planning and implementation of interventions.
