Our beliefs and practices:

  • Neurodiversity Affirming Practices: We support individuals in recognizing and respecting the inherent value and diversity of the human brain. Embracing and validating neural differences, we provide the right support and accommodations, rather than treating these differences as deficits.

  • Child-Led Play-Based Sessions: We foster intrinsic motivation in kids, making sessions more enjoyable and effective by allowing them to lead their own play.

  • Sensory Preferences: We take the time to learn each child's sensory preferences, integrating sensory strategies to improve regulation in our sessions.

  • Family Advocacy: We teach family members about the needs of their child, empowering them to advocate for their child's needs.

  • Individual Strengths: We don't solely rely on standardized test scores and developmental norms to determine skills and abilities. we believe in understanding each child's unique strengths and abilities.
