Values

Listening to Autistic Voices

We listen to autistic voices and recognize that autistic adults are the real experts on autism. All courses are either developed by or reviewed by autistic professionals.
Respect for Neurodiversity

We respect the differences of neurodivergent people, while acknowledging their barriers to thriving in our current world. We do not teach or condone practices that promote masking or violate the bodily autonomy of our clients.
Openness to Change

We are committed to continually updating our beliefs and content as we listen, learn, and grow.
Value for Our Community

We aim to provide the highest level of value and support for our customers and our guest instructors.
