Autism Spectrum Disorders

Every child experiences the world in their own way. We help children and teens on the autism spectrum build communication, regulation, and daily life skills that support confidence, connection, and independence.

Children with autism process the world differently—socially, emotionally, and sensorially. These differences can impact communication, play, attention, and participation in daily routines.

At The Therapy Collaborative, we meet each child where they are, creating individualized plans that honor their strengths while supporting areas that make daily life easier and more fulfilling.

Our Therapy Approach

Our team provides occupational therapy and speech therapy services that are tailored to each child’s needs. While some children benefit from one type of therapy, others thrive with coordinated support between disciplines.

Occupational Therapy may focus on:

  • Sensory processing & self-regulation

  • Play, flexibility, and engagement

  • Fine & gross motor coordination

  • Daily living skills (feeding, dressing, hygiene)

  • Emotional awareness & coping strategies

Speech Therapy may focus on:

  • Communication & language development

  • Social communication & conversation skills

  • Speech clarity & articulation

  • Understanding and expressing emotions

  • Alternative and augmentative communication (AAC)

When appropriate, our therapists collaborate to align goals, strategies, and progress—so every child receives the most cohesive, effective care possible.

Families often share that they see more engagement, smoother communication, and greater independence at home, school, and in the community. Most importantly, children start feeling more confident being themselves.
