About us
Aha! Connections was established in 2003 to provide developmental and relationship-based services, based on DIR/Floortime methodologies, for young children who have challenges with social interactions, communication and play. We provide service for all children and provide specialized services for children diagnosed with autism, NVLD, social anxiety, and social emotional challenges. Our mission is to help children increase engagement, build and strengthen relationships and learn to enjoy interactions with those around them. During our play-based sessions, we focus on increasing each child's desire to connect, communicate, play, develop social thinking skills such as problem solving and flexibility, increase mindfulness, as well as help develop strategies for regulation. Using a family centered approach, we focus on empowering all family members. The family is the child's first connection to the world!
Jennifer Deady has over 20 years experience working with young children diagnosed with ASD. She is an Advanced Certified Autism Specialist, skilled in DIR/Floortime Intervention, Applied Behavior Analysis, knowledgable in Social Thinking®, RDI, yoga and mindfulness. She believe in bringing together multiple approaches in designing an individual approach for each child.
