Wow that is a powerful reminder for us adults to deliberate before jumping into conclusion. Our children are navigating a fast paced, electronic world. Spend a moment to talk to them, provide support and find out what the root cause is. Have a great holiday

Behind every tantrum or act of defiance is usually a story — one of unmet needs, overwhelm, or unspoken hurt.

When we pause long enough to see the story instead of just the behavior, everything changes.
Because nine times out of ten, what’s underneath won’t make you angry — it will break your heart.

Lead with empathy. Respond with connection. 💛

❄⛄As winter settles in, we want to remind everyone of our inclement weather policy❄⛄

If ASD cancels school or has a two hour delay, the 8:00am clients are automatically canceled. Clients from 9:30am and on will be contacted by a staff member to confirm or cancel that day's appt. Please reach out with any questions. Happy winter Alaska friends!

Bittersweet to be saying goodbye to one of our amazing therapists but we are so thankful to have learned and grown with her on her second rotation in Alaska.

Mrs. Alexis is moving back down to the lower 48 to be closer to family and friends. We will miss you Mrs. Alexis and wish you the best of luck on this next chapter!

We want to take a moment to highlight our newest full time team member Cassie!

Cassie has a Bachelor's Degree in Anthropology and a Master's Degree in Occupational Therapy. She was born and raised in Alaska, and was brought up enjoying the wilderness, arts in the community, and all that our state has to offer. You may find her outside ice skating, skiing, biking, fishing, ATV-ing, and backpacking or even in the community enjoying dance events, aerial acrobatics, or art classes. She has a passion for helping others to do what they love and need to do in their daily lives and making it fun.

We are excited to have you back in Alaska and on our team helping our community!
