Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex developmental and neurological condition that affects an individual’s ability to communicate, interact socially, and navigate everyday life. At LEAP, we understand that every individual on the spectrum has unique strengths, challenges, and needs. Our specialized services for ASD are rooted in compassion, evidence-based practices, and a commitment to collaboration with families and caregivers. We offer individualized support that empowers individuals on the spectrum to thrive in their own way. ASD is often diagnosed in early childhood, but it can be identified at any age. Early intervention and consistent support can make a significant difference in helping individuals with ASD develop critical life skills and reach their full potential.

The LEAP Approach: How we Help

At LEAP, we recognize that there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach to supporting individuals with ASD. Our team of licensed therapists, certified coaches, and specialists create customized care plans based on each client’s unique strengths, needs, and goals. We focus on building essential life skills, fostering emotional well-being, and strengthening family dynamics. Some of the evidence-based approaches that we use here at LEAP to promote growth, independence, and emotional well-being include Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Principles, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Social Skills Training, Executive Function Coaching, Sensory Integration Strategies, Educational Advocacy and Parent and Caregiver Coaching.

Caregiver Collaboration: Supporting the Whole Family

We understand that autism not only affects the individual but also impacts the entire family system. LEAP prioritizes collaboration with caregivers, providing them with the knowledge, resources, and strategies they need to support their loved one’s growth and development.
