We need your help! We've just launched a new community survey; and, we'd love your insights.

We're presenting a talk for Autism Level UP! Month (aka April) entitled "What the Autistic Community Wishes You Really Knew this April" and we'd love to know how you'd answer that question.

We hope you'll take as much or as little time as you can contribute to answer :)

We are asking Autistic people to contribute their knowledge and perspectives as part of the Autistic Community. We are also asking allistic people connected to the community to contribute their perspectives as part of the broader Autism Community.

Thanks for helping us Level UP! our perspective and knowledge base. We look forward to reading your responses and really do hope we'll be able to generate and post some useful tools for the community at large based upon our collective efforts. ❤️💛

Celebrating 2 amazing years with our Lead OT, Colleen!

Colleen brings so much more than clinical skill to our team. Her gentle nature and thoughtfulness allow even our most sensitive patients and families to feel safe, supported, and understood. She has grown tremendously over the past two years, continually expanding her skills and confidently stepping into new areas of practice.

Beyond her work with families, Colleen is an incredible team player, supporting onboarding, mentoring Level II students, and always stepping in wherever she’s needed without hesitation.

We are so grateful for the care, intention, and heart you bring to this work every single day. Thank you for being a part of our team, Colleen!

Exactly! Let’s continue to spread this message…. LOUD! 📣

When supporting nonspeakers or minimally speaking autistic children, I always assume that the body is the barrier, meaning motor challenges are likely a huge factor contributing to their lack of speech.
