Our services are uniquely designed to enhance resilience, health, and quality of life for every client.
Developmental Disabilities
At our clinic, we welcome individuals with a wide range of abilities. Our clinicians specialize in supporting clients with learning disorders, autism and other developmental disabilities. We take a strengths-based approach to working with our clients to foster a sense of independence, personal agency, and self-confidence.
SERVICES FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
AUTISM SERVICES
Autism services funding is available to persons under the age of 19.
All our clinicians have a high level of expertise with children, teens and adults on the autism spectrum. Over the last 20 years we have built lasting relationships with clients to support them through all their life stages. Our outcome goals are developed collaboratively with the family based on what you would like to see for your child or teen and we have adapted therapeutic approaches to keep individuals engaged over the long-term.
