disability that generally appears before the age of
3. It impacts the normal development of the brain
in the areas of social interaction, communication
skills, and cognitive function. Individuals with
autism typically have difficulties in verbal and
non-verbal communication, social interactions,
and leisure or play activities. They often suffer
from numerous physical ailments which include
sensory integration dysfunction, sleeping
disorders, and more.

There are a number of disorders usually
associated with the therapies we provide.
The list is by no means complete.
Furthermore, while we provide this list as
a service, we advise extreme caution to
avoid labeling a condition. The complexity
and variability of people makes any
labeling inadequate at best and deceptive
and misleading at worst. While we
understand disorders and their
ramifications, we focus on improved
function and interaction with people and
the environment. That is, we do everything
possible to help our clients navigate the
world, "disorders" notwithstanding.
