About Swann Clinic for Behavioral Health :

Swann Clinic for Behavioral Health is a multidisciplinary clinic for children with various ability levels. This means we deliver applied behavioral analysis therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and individual mental health counseling to neurodiverse children ages 1-7.

Neurodiversity includes diagnoses such as global developmental delays, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, PTSD, and learning disorders.

Ours is a trauma informed model with assent based practices. This means, we respect the boundaries and feelings of our learners, honor their ability to say no or not engage, allow them to fully be themselves, and only teach skills their parents agree to that honor their uniqueness.

Our learners grow through play-based interventions, which helps them develop valuable skills they can use later in school and life.

Our learners engage in crafts, circle time, quiet time, group lunches, music and movement, and other special activities together.
