Welcome

At Integrated Therapies and Performance we understand that Autism is incredibly unique and diverse. We have created this Autism Hub with the desire to offer easy to access resources, details on diagnosis, and funding information. Our aim is to share our understanding of Autism as a neurological difference - not a neurological disease. That said, we reckognize that the dominantly neurotypical world can create challenges for autistic individuals. We desire to strategize with Autistic individuals about how these challenges can be encountered through self advocacy and coping skills attained through a strength-based framework. We strongly desire to partner with autistic individuals and thir families to ensure autism is understood, celebrated, and supported.

Our Approach

​At IT&P, we embrace a Neurodiversity Affirming approach that recognizes autistic traits as valuable human traits. We understand that traits can be meaningful aspects of identity, and they don’t necessarily require remediation. Our focus is empowering autistic individuals to advocate for themselves, adapt their environments, and navigate diverse experiences. Since the early days of autism research, it has been clear that the challenges and strengths of Autistic individuals are deeply interconnected. With this understanding, we aim to celebrate our clients' strengths while working together to develop strategies for addressing the challenges they face.

  • Our goals;

    • To provide services which are genuinely desired by Autistic individuals and their families.

    • To listen to Autistic Voices at the local level.

    • To walk alongside caregivers of Autistic Children providing interventions, resources, and support.
