Neurodiversity-Affirming Support at Spectrum
Spectrum Services works with children, adolescents, and adults
with a variety of developmental, social, communication, and
mental health needs. Our team includes professionals from
multiple disciplines, allowing clients to access different types
of support through one practice when appropriate.
We commonly work with individuals with:
- Autism
- Giftedness and twice-exceptionality (2e)
- ADHD and attention differences
- Social communication differences
- Non-Verbal Learning Differences (NVLD)
- Social anxiety and sensory sensitivities
- Other neurodevelopmental and learning differences
Our services are individualized. We consider each person’s
goals, communication style, sensory needs, strengths,
challenges, environment, and preferences when recommending
support.
Our Approach
Spectrum provides neurodiversity-affirming care. We recognize
that people think, communicate, learn, and experience the world
in different ways. Our goal is not to make someone appear more
neurotypical or to change differences simply because they are
different.
Depending on the individual and the service, we may work on
goals such as:
- Understanding individual needs and strengths
- Building self-advocacy and independence
- Improving communication and relationships
- Developing strategies for emotional regulation
- Building organization, planning, and other executive function skills
- Addressing challenges at home, school, work, or in the community
Support for Individuals & Families
Parents, caregivers, and educators may also need information,
strategies, and support. Depending on the service, Spectrum can
work directly with families and other members of an individual’s
support team.
- Parent coaching and consultation
- Strategies for emotional regulation and sensory needs
- Support related to school accommodations and educational advocacy
- Training and consultation for educators and school teams
- Coordination among Spectrum providers when appropriate and authorized

Fees & Payment
Spectrum is a private-pay practice. This allows our providers
flexibility in determining the type, frequency, and duration of
services based on each client’s needs rather than insurance
requirements.
We also work with some third-party funding sources. For
