The “First Comes Play” Philosophy

play-based

Language follows play and movement. When your child is engaged and enjoying themselves, their speech, language, and communication skills are sure to grow. Interest-led therapy, regardless of your child’s age, will increase their engagement and participation.

Family-centered

YOU are the expert on your child. Parents and caregivers are an important part of therapy. You know your child best and will be instrumental in developing their goals and implementing their treatment.

Neurodiversity-Affirming

We consider your child’s interests, play preference, and sensory needs when developing engaging therapy. All play, including autistic play, is cherished and encouraged. We do not believe Autism is a disease that needs to be “cured.” We do not use the medical model, which focuses on deficits. We use a strength-based approach, which focuses on your child’s strengths to develop and foster communication and life skills.
