Lakeshore Affirmative Therapy PLLC

Embracing Neurodiversity, Empowering Lives

Occupational Therapy for Neurodivergent Children, Teens, and Adults

Lakeshore Affirmative Therapy offers neurodiversity affirming occupational therapy for Autistic, ADHD, PDA, and otherwise neurodivergent individuals seeking support with daily routines, self care, school, work, sensory needs, executive functioning, and burnout.

Whether it’s navigating school, work, relationships, or everyday routines, we help neurodivergent children and adults feel understood, supported, and empowered. Our approach is collaborative, strengths based, and centered around developing strategies and supports that fit your real life and how your brain works best.

Through our in home and virtual occupational therapy services, we help clients build the skills, supports, and environments they need to participate more fully in the daily activities that matter most to them.

As a neurodiversity affirming practice, we do not use approaches that prioritize compliance, masking, or suppression of neurodivergent traits. We do not support practices such as forced eye contact, planned ignoring, suppressing stimming, or using extrinsic rewards to change neurodivergent behaviors. Our goal is to support participation, well being, autonomy, and quality of life while honoring each client for who they are. Our occupational therapy sessions are always neuro-affirming, gender-affirming, and grounded in a strengths-based approach.

We celebrate all neurotypes and look forward to working with you to help you reach your goals!
