About Joy

---

Our treatment focus is rooted in fostering self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-advocacy for Autistic individuals. We aim to help individuals recognize the inherent value of their differences, embrace their neurodivergent identities, and develop strategies to navigate the world without compromising authenticity.

We prioritize addressing challenges in ways that respect each individual’s unique strengths and needs, empowering them to reach their fullest potential while improving their quality of life. Our approach goes beyond traditional interventions by aligning with neurodivergent values, emphasizing the importance of accommodations, and cultivating a sense of belonging.

Through our spectrum of services, we strive to promote neurodiversity, facilitate acceptance and inclusion, and support individuals, families, and organizations in creating environments where Autistic people can thrive.

We are committed to walking alongside you every step of your journey. Our promise is to support you in growing through challenges, recognizing your strengths, and discovering strategies that enhance your quality of life—all while celebrating your identity.

At Spectrum Support, we uphold an anti-ableism philosophy, ensuring that our practices respect and affirm Autistic culture and values. We do not recommend or participate in interventions that target behaviors simply for the sake of conformity. Instead, we focus on ethical, evidence-based approaches that honor the dignity and individuality of each person we serve.

Our ultimate goal is to create a world where Autistic individuals are empowered to live authentically, accommodated without hesitation, and supported with respect and care

Our neurodiversity-affirming, assent-based ABA services are designed to prioritize the dignity, autonomy, and individuality of neurodivergent individuals. Unlike traditional approaches, we focus on fostering self-advocacy, emotional regulation, and skill development in ways that align with the person’s unique strengths and needs. Our methods emphasize collaboration, consent, and respect for neurodivergent identities, rejecting harmful practices that promote masking or conformity to neurotypical norms.

By centering the individual’s goals and ensuring that all interventions are affirming, supportive, and assent-driven, we create a safe environment where growth and learning occur naturally and authentically. Our aim is not to “fix” or “change” neurodivergent traits but to provide accommodations, support, and tools that empower individuals to thrive on their own terms..
