1

Child-Led Approach

Children will not participate in therapy if they're not motivated. We strive to incorporate each child's unique hobbies to ensure an enjoyable time together during therapy sessions, creating increased opportunities for success and growth.
2

Work with the Whole Family

Our goal is for your child to thrive outside of our sessions as well, so we offer parent trainings and check-ins to make sure your child can continue to progress and apply their learning in all settings they find themselves in.
3

Community Sessions

To be effective, your child's therapy needs to work in different settings, not just at home, so we incorporate community sessions when appropriate to help your child apply learning in other environments.
4

Academic Support

In addition to working with your family, we can set up meetings to work with your child's teachers and other therapists to make sure their treatment is collaborative and addressing all parts of their life.

What Parents are Saying

“When my son was diagnosed and a slew of therapies were recommended, I was intimidated. As a person who believes in gentle parenting, I was very selective about providers, and unhappy with the first ones I tried. When we found Jen everything changed. She truly heard our concerns, and was willing to work on whatever the priorities were for our family. She was patient, kind, and developed a wonderful trusting relationship with my son and myself. I owe her a debt of gratitude for the exceptional care she provided my son and our entire family.”
"Jen is a wonderful therapist and supervisor. She is a good listener who is creative and fun. My son enjoys his sessions at home. We are grateful that we got the opportunity to work with her.”
“Jen Huyck has been providing therapy to my autistic daughter for the last 3 years. In that time, she has helped her improve her communication with both my husband and me as well as her 3 siblings with varying personality types. Miss Jen has helped my daughter build fine motor skills, competence, flexibility, academic learning skills, aided in our exploration of new foods, and so much more. She has done this through things that speak to my daughter like crafts, science experiments, creative story writing, baking, and imaginative play. We have seen a decrease in my daughter’s rigidity to her schedule/routine and less resistance to expressing frustrations verbally or a willingness to seek guidance/comfort. We would be at such a loss without having her in our daughter’s life!”
