Signs to Watch For

If you're noticing some of these in your child, an evaluation can help clarify what's going on.

Sensory sensitivities or sensory-seeking behaviors that affect daily life
Communication that's different from peers — late talking, scripted language, or social communication challenges
Strong preferences for routine and difficulty with transitions
Repetitive movements (hand flapping, rocking, spinning) that may be helpful for regulation
Intense interests that consume attention and conversation
Differences in how your child plays, makes friends, or interacts with adults

Frequently Asked Questions — Wheeling Families

Is your therapy "neurodiversity-affirming"?

Yes. We believe autistic children deserve therapy that respects who they are and works WITH their nervous system, not against it. We don't try to "fix" autism — we help your child build skills, regulate, and communicate in whatever way works for them.

Is OT/speech therapy the same as ABA?

No. ABA is behavior-focused and operates on principles of reinforcement. OT and speech therapy are skill-building services that work with your child's nervous system and communication systems directly. Some families combine therapies; many choose OT and speech as their primary approach. We're happy to discuss what makes sense for your family.
