Who We Serve.
Connected Child specializes in working with neurodiverse children which refers to children who have differences in the way their brains function as compared to “typical” children. Children we serve may have the following diagnosis. These differences are not seen as deficits but rather a different way that individuals may learn and process information. Therapies focus on helping the child and family understand the way that they learn and advocate for their needs rather than coaching them to be “more typical.”
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
Asperger Syndrome (AS)
Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)
General Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
Social Communication Disorder (SCD)
Non-Verbal Learning Disability (NVLD)
Pervasive Developmental Delay (PDD)

Such neurocognitive profiles often have a great deal of gifts or strengths including:

The goal of therapy at Connected Child is to highlight each individuals strengths, to celebrate the things they are good at, to help them advocate for their needs and to help educate parents and teachers about how each child learns best.
