What we look for in a book! 📚

At Spectrum, we choose books intentionally, and unfortunately all books are not created equally! The right book can support language, comprehension, and connection all at once.

Books that include these elements make it easier for children to participate, build language, and truly connect with the story.

Swipe through to see the features we love in books and why they support language development!

We’re back!

Looking to connect with other families who just get it?

Spectrum Connect is our autism parent support group created for caregivers navigating the unique challenges and joys of parenting neurodivergent children.

This is a space to exhale.
To ask questions.
To share the hard days and celebrate the wins.
To be surrounded by people who understand the appointments, the advocacy, the sensory needs, the school meetings, and the incredible strengths your child brings to the world.

You don’t have to do this alone.

Come connect. 💛

Parents and caregivers are always welcome in our sessions. Always.

Because therapy shouldn’t happen behind closed doors.

It’s important that the people in your child life understand what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and how to carry it into real life.

When parents / caregivers are present:
✨ You see your child’s strengths in action
✨ You learn how to model language and regulation in natural moments
✨ You build confidence as your child’s most important communication partner
✨ We collaborate!

Because the real magic doesn’t happen in a 45-minute session. It happens at home, in the car, at bedtime, and in the messy, beautiful everyday moments.

And you deserve to feel confident in those moments. 💛

✨ Meet Maddi (aka my parallel processor) ✨

Maddi joined the Spectrum team in 2022 after completing her practicum with us and we truly couldn’t imagine Spectrum without her.

Everything Maddi does comes from a place of deep empathy, thoughtfulness, and authentic connection. She is one of the most genuinely caring humans I’ve ever met.

Maddi’s clinical interests lie in speech sound disorders, AAC, gestalt language processing, and all things autism!

Her sessions are rooted in play, creativity, and relationship, always thoughtfully tailored to each child’s interests! Maddi constantly amazes me with her creativity, her problem-solving, and her natural ability to make kids feel safe, seen, and valued. We are so lucky to have her

Fun facts about Maddi:
👯‍♀️ She’s a twin
📚 Major bookworm (and a night owl because of it)
💍 She just got married!

This quote is a powerful reminder of why presuming competence isn’t optional…it’s essential. When we assume someone understands less because they communicate differently, we don’t just limit access to education, we limit dignity, opportunity, and joy.

Presuming competence means:
✨ We speak with respect, not simplification
✨ We offer rich language, meaningful learning, and real choices
✨ We trust that understanding can exist even when expression looks different

When we presume competence, we open doors instead of closing them. Assumptions shape outcomes. Choose competence.

Welcome SLP, Naomi Manske to the Spectrum crew!

Naomi brings such a joyful, grounded energy to her work and a deep appreciation for movement, connection, and learning.

A former Huskie track & field athlete, Naomi competed in triple jump and is a two-time Canada West champion and U SPORTS bronze medalist. The perseverance and joy sport taught her show up beautifully in her therapy sessions. Maybe a bit of competitiveness too!

Naomi supports children using a child-led, play-based, and neurodiversity-affirming approach, creating sessions rooted in connection, motivation, and each child’s unique strengths.

Her clinical interests include early intervention, gestalt language processing, AAC, language, and speech sound development.

Outside the clinic, you’ll find Naomi running, hiking, at the lake, or enjoying a good coffee … likely with Taylor Swift playing ✨

We’re so lucky to have her on the Spectrum team 💛
