Who We Are: Compassionate, Collaborative Autism Services in Waterloo & Burlington

We offer interdisciplinary support, including:

• Speech-Language Pathology (SLP)

• Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA)

• Psychotherapy

We typically support children from about 18 months through 18 years.

Neuro-affirming care means we respect neurodivergent ways of communicating, learning, moving, and regulating. Our goal is not to “fix” your child. We focus on skills and supports that help your child feel safe, understood, and successful.

We do not provide medical diagnoses. If you’re exploring an autism assessment, we can help you understand what to look for and how to support your child while you wait.

Your intake is a first conversation where we:

• Learn about your child and what’s been feeling hard

• Clarify your goals and priorities

• Recommend the best next step (assessment, direct therapy, parent coaching, or a mix)

If an assessment is recommended, we’ll walk you through what that includes (what we’re looking at, what tools we use, timelines, and what you’ll receive after).

Families come to us for support with things like:

• Speech and language delays

• Social communication

• Autism support

• Emotional regulation and “big behaviours”

• Transitions (school, routines, new environments)

• Anxiety, stress, and family dynamics

• Parent coaching and practical strategies for home

A lot of clinics can offer therapy. We focus on how it feels to receive it.

• Led by clinicians (and moms): Elemenoe is owned by two clinicians who are also moms. That lived experience shapes how we communicate, how we set goals, and how practical we keep the strategies.

• Collaborative care: Our team works together across disciplines, so you’re not stuck trying to connect the dots between providers.

• Play-centred and child-led: We follow your child’s lead and build skills through connection, motivation, and meaningful activities.

• Neuro-affirming: We honour your child’s communication and regulation needs and prioritize safety, dignity, and belonging.

• Evidence-based (and full of heart): We use best-practice approaches and real clinical expertise, while keeping the work human, warm, and relevant to your child’s life.
