We see autism and ADHD as neurological differences, not something that needs fixing. Autistic and ADHD children process the world differently – their nervous systems are wired for deeper processing, pattern recognition, intense interests, and different attention styles. We recognise that many traits labelled as "challenging behaviours" are actually stress responses to environments that don't accommodate their needs.

We never use compliance-based therapies or try to make children appear "less autistic" or "less ADHD." Instead, we focus on building skills while honouring how your child naturally communicates, moves, and regulates. This means supporting stimming, respecting their "no," allowing movement for focus, and finding alternatives when traditional approaches don't work. We adapt our therapy style to each child – whether that's dimming lights, offering standing desks, taking movement breaks, or communicating through their special interests. We're also PDA-aware, understanding that some children need indirect, collaborative approaches rather than direct demands. We provide coaching, advocacy support and education to parents and your child's care team, ensuring everyone understands how to support your child's unique needs.

We actively validate and accommodate sensory preferences and regulation needs – if your child needs to wear noise-cancelling headphones, bounce while thinking, fidget to focus, or take shoes off during sessions, that's perfectly fine. We help identify supports that actually work (not just what's "expected"), advocate for accommodations at school, and teach self-advocacy skills. Most importantly, we never push through distress or overwhelm. Your child's communication – whether verbal, AAC, behaviour, or body language – is always valid and respected.
