Literacy & Phonological Awareness
Speech and reading are deeply connected. We support children with reading, spelling, and pre-literacy skills to ensure they thrive in the classroom.

Instead, our Social Communication therapy focuses on:
- Self-Advocacy: Helping children express their needs and boundaries.
- Perspective Taking: Understanding that others may think or feel differently.
- Double Empathy Problem: Bridging the gap between neurodivergent and neurotypical communication styles.
- Friendship Skills: Navigating the complex social rules of the Playground and classroom in a way that feels authentic to the child.
