Autism Support

Every autistic child is different. Support should reflect your child’s individual strengths, needs, interests and goals while respecting who they are.

I work collaboratively with children and families to build meaningful skills, navigate challenges and support greater confidence and participation in everyday life.

Who This Support Is For

Autism support may be helpful when your child is experiencing challenges that are affecting everyday life, participation or family routines. We can focus on the areas that matter most to your child and family.

Communication & Connection

Supporting communication, self-expression and meaningful interaction with others.

Emotional Regulation

Helping children understand and navigate emotions, transitions and situations that may feel overwhelming.

Independence & Daily Living

Building practical skills that support participation and confidence in everyday routines.

Behaviour & Participation

Understanding what behaviour may be communicating and finding respectful strategies that help children participate more comfortably at home and in the community.

Areas We May Work On

Goals are individualized to your child and family. Depending on what is most important right now, support may focus on developing skills, making everyday situations easier to navigate, or helping the adults around your child better understand how to respond.

Everyday Skills

Building practical skills for routines such as getting ready, meals, hygiene, transitions and participating more independently in daily life.

Communication & Self-Advocacy

Supporting children to communicate needs, preferences, choices and boundaries in ways that work for them.

Confidence & Participation

Helping children build confidence, cope with challenging situations and participate more comfortably in family, school and community life.

What Support Can Look Like

Support is tailored to your child and family. Depending on your needs, our work may include direct support with your child, coaching for parents and caregivers, consultation with other adults involved in your child’s life, or a combination of these approaches.

Direct Support

Working individually with your child to develop meaningful skills and strategies in a supportive, respectful way.

Parent & Caregiver Coaching

Helping you better understand what may be happening and providing practical strategies you can use confidently in everyday situations.

Collaboration & Consultation

When appropriate, working with other important people in your child’s life so everyone has a clearer understanding of goals, strategies and how best to provide support.

Wondering What Support Could Look Like for Your Child?

An introductory conversation is a chance to talk about your child’s strengths, the challenges you’re seeing and the goals that matter most to your family.
