WHO IS THIS FOR

Does this sound like your child?

We work with children whose needs go beyond what a standard behavioral approach can offer. If your child has been diagnosed, or you suspect they might be, we can help.

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Children with ASD who need more than behavior modification, who need connection, understanding, and a therapy that follows their lead.

Social connection, Communication, Self-regulation

ADHD & Attention Differences

Kids who are told they're "too much", too energetic, too distracted, too impulsive. We help them build focus and emotional regulation from the inside out.

Focus & attention, Impulse control, Emotional regulation

Sensory Processing Differences

Children who are overwhelmed by sounds, textures, crowds, or who seek intense sensory input. We work with their nervous system, not against it.

Sensory Sensitivity, Meltdowns, Avoidance

Developmental Delays

Kids who are developing at their own pace in language, motor skills, or social connection. Early, relationship-based support makes a real difference.

Language delays, Social Skills, Early Intervention

Not sure if your child fits? That's exactly what the first call is for. We'll listen, ask questions, and tell you honestly whether we're the right fit. No pressure, no commitment required.

WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE US

This is different from what you've probably seen.

Most behavioral approaches focus on what your child does. We focus on why, and build from there.

Not behavior management

We don't train compliance. We build emotional regulation, connection, and the capacity for growth that lasts.

Not one-size-fits-all

Every neurodivergent child has a unique profile. Therapy starts with understanding that profile, not a protocol.

DIR/Floortime® - not ABA

A relationship-based, developmental alternative grounded in emotional connection as the driver of growth.

Parents are part of the process

We work alongside you, not just with your child. You leave every session with tools you can use at home.

HOW WE WORK · THE AUR METHOD

Attunement before intervention. Understanding before response. Always.

01

Attune

We read what your child is actually experiencing, emotionally and sensorially, before anything else.

02

Understand

We decode the behavior. What is your child communicating? What do they need right now?

03

Respond

We choose the intervention that supports their next developmental step, not the one that's easiest to measure.
