1. Comprehensive Assessment
Our initial meeting will include fully informed consent on what neurodiversity and a strengths-based approach to therapy entails. There may be one or more information gathering meetings (in-person or virtual depending on location) as well as an indirect and direct observational meetings in order to determine how we can best support you and collaborate on an individualized support plan. The support plan may be offered across the home, school, or community settings.

2. Goals for Growth
We’ll follow a strengths and interest-based therapeutic model to collaborate on and curate goals for growth for you and/or your child. Identifying the most supportive goals for your individualized support plan establishes a route towards independence. This in conjunction with self-determination, paves a path towards one’s truest self.
Ongoing updates to these goals as well as iterative assessments and strategies help to ensure positive well-being and meaningful progress.

3. Child-led, Play-based Support
Through our teaching methods and therapies, you’ll learn to offer your child proactive strategies to increase self-initiated learning and engagement and decrease the effect of environmental stressors, respectively. By following a child’s lead during play, we fortify the relationship by exploring their same curiosities. This can engender additional opportunities to then model robust language and new play schemas without expectation.

SOS Feeding Therapy & Healthy Relationship Support
We’re a part of the team. There’s no better experience than feeling seen, heard, appreciated, and understood. Understanding that the familial relationship is important for life, and feeding is the only skill that requires a total sensory processing experience for the rest of our lives. We want to offer you our fullest support across multiple spheres in your child and family’s life.
Feeding therapy focuses on developing key foundational skills needed for successful eating, especially when developmental milestones are missing or underdeveloped. Our approach helps children strengthen oral motor, sensory, and experiential skills essential for enjoyable and nutritious mealtimes. The SOS Approach, developed by Dr. Toomey and Associates, supports individuals in nourishing their bodies through a whole-person approach. "SOS" stands for Sequential-Oral-Sensory, and it follows the body’s sensorimotor framework to build a functional eating foundation. It engages all eight sensory systems—auditory, gustatory, tactile, olfactory, visual, proprioception, vestibular, and interoception—to help the body process and regulate sensory information effectively. Understanding that neurodivergent individuals often face sensorimotor dysregulation due to unreliable neurotransmitter processing, SOS works to improve sensory integration, supporting functional eating.
Healthy Relationship Support includes individualized parent coaching, equipping you with the teaching methods and strategies to teach your child about healthy relationships and social-emotional growth. Our services help parents navigate a wide range of topics, enabling them to confidently guide their children in building respectful, informed, and empowering relationships. Our coaching approach focuses on fostering open communication, emotional intelligence, and a strong sense of personal safety, helping parents feel confident in guiding their children toward respectful and healthy relationships.
Service supports may include: ASD, ADHD, PDA, dyspraxia / apraxia, AAC training and support, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, global developmental delay, picky eaters, “failure to thrive” status, subtypes of ARFID, and more
Pricing is unique per case and a Monthly Membership payment plan is available following the initial consultation.
