The Neurodiverse Playhouse

Transforming Lives Through Health

Because your child deserves more than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Neuroaffirming + Respectful: We don’t force eye contact, sitting still or using “expected” behaviours. We meet your child exactly where they are.
PDA-aware and autonomy-focused: If your child needs to say no, we listen.
Movement-friendly + sensory-led: Stimming is welcome. So is rolling, bouncing, spinning and playing on the floor.
Relational, not compliance-based: We build connection before we build capacity.
Family-aligned: You’re not a bystander—you’re part of your child’s support village.

Our Occupational Therapists co-create sessions with your child, not for them.

Some of the areas we support:

Sensory safety — Helping your child understand and trust their sensory world
Interoception and body awareness — Learning to notice and respond to internal signals
Emotional co-regulation — Supporting expression and big feelings, not silencing them
Play and social joy — Honouring the way your child connects and communicates
Daily living skills — At a pace that works for them, not based on someone else’s chart
Demand avoidance support — Creating an environment where autonomy is protected and shame is replaced with trust

No sticker charts.
No rewards for masking.
No pressure to “be good.”
Just support that honours your child’s full humanity.
