How does Neurodiversity Affirming Care specifically avoid compliance-based methods in speech therapy?

Neurodiversity Affirming Care is designed to actively avoid compliance-based methods, which are often experienced by autistic/neurodivergent individuals as deeply unsettling or disrespectful. Instead of demanding a specific response, we operate on the principle of "Connection over Compliance," prioritizing the client’s motivation and rapport with the therapist. This means we don't use techniques that require forced eye contact or suppress stimming; instead, we focus on empowering the client to communicate in ways that are authentic and self-directed. This focus on building meaningful and trusting relationships is what leads to true, sustainable progress for learners in the Greater Houston area.

Does your Neurodiversity Affirming Care include support for children with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)?

Yes, our Neurodiversity Affirming Care includes specialized support for children with the Pathological or Pervasive Demand Avoidance (PDA). For this specific, highly sensitive profile, a standard, direct approach based on demands would be counterproductive. Our therapists use an indirect, collaborative model strategy that respects the child’s need for control and autonomy. We focus on building a strong, connection-focused relationship and creating a low-demand environment to help the child thrive in communication without triggering anxiety-driven avoidance.

Is the cost of Neurodiversity Affirming Care higher than traditional speech therapy in Tomball?

The cost structure for Neurodiversity Affirming Care is generally determined by the specific type of service and the length of the session, not the philosophical approach. While the methods we use are specialized—including Gestalt Processing Care and Total Communication Approach—our aim is to provide high-quality speech therapy services that are accessible to families across Tomball. We encourage parents to initiate the intake process by clicking the "Get Started" button. Our team will then provide clear information on the pricing structure for the personalized plan of care before services begin.
