Our neuro-affirming curriculum builds skills and identifies tools and strategies that increase self awareness, self advocacy, and individualized success.

Our Story

ConnectEd Developmental Therapies was established in 2015 by a small group of like-minded clinicians committed to a deep understanding of child development, efficacy-based interventions, and partnering with families to support young children. 

Co-founders Heather and Shlomit and a team of skilled developmental specialists have continued to stay true to these foundational beliefs while embracing the exciting evolution of the field.

Today, ConnectEd has grown both in our clinical work and in the greater community. ConnectEd Clinic provides neuro-affirming care to children ages 3 to 18 with a focus on building self-awareness, self-monitoring, and self advocacy through small group, individual sessions, and parent coaching opportunities. ConnectEd Classrooms is a community based partnership with local schools supporting staff, students, and their families to embrace a brain-aligned understanding of engagement and social success. 

"Our school counselor referred us to ConnectEd a couple of years ago and our family couldn’t be more grateful. Our nine year old was going through a really tough phase, and just in the initial parent consultation, I received a huge amount of warmth and empathy from Heather. She was understanding of exactly what we were dealing with, and even gave us practical tips we could implement right away. Since then we have benefited from 1:1 child-specialist sessions, social groups, parent ed workshops, and support at teacher meetings. The advice is always insightful, straightforward, and given with love. I wouldn’t hesitate to share our extermely positive ConnectEd experience with other families.”
