I specialize in working with autistic children, providing coaching to parents, and counseling neurodivergent adults. Katie Brady is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with individuals with autism spectrum disorders, their families, and the professionals who work with them. Brady received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and a Master of Social Work degree, both from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She has been involved in the field of autism for twelve years, and her experience has run the gamut from being a summer camp counselor at the Autism Society of North Carolina’s Camp Royall, to working at an adult residential program, to being a therapist at the Chapel Hill TEACCH Center for six years. She has also helped conduct TEACCH trainings here in North Carolina, as well as in Ireland and Alaska. Brady’s favorite part of working in the field of autism is making a difference in people’s lives, whether it is teaching a young child communication skills, helping a family’s meal time run more smoothly, or giving a teacher a practical and easy to implement strategy that in turn helps her high school students learn practical life skills. She has expertise in understanding the culture of autism, and is skilled in acting as a “cross cultural guide,” translating the autism world to families and professionals in clear, understandable, practical ways.
