Frequently Asked Question
-
Neurodivergent-affirming therapy honors how your child's brain works rather than trying to make them fit neurotypical expectations. Hadis focuses on building on your child's strengths, teaching regulation skills that work for their nervous system, and helping them thrive as their authentic selves. Play-based approaches are especially effective because they meet children where they are developmentally.
-
Play therapy for autistic children focuses on building communication skills, emotional regulation, social understanding, and coping strategies, all through play, which is a child's natural language. Hadis adapts play therapy techniques to honor your child's sensory needs, communication style, and interests, making therapy both effective and enjoyable.

Hadis can help connect you with appropriate assessment resources if needed and provide therapy and strategies regardless of diagnostic status.
