The Autism clinic at Catalyst
We are excited to introduce TACC-The Autism Clinic at Catalyst.
Since August 9, 2023, we have been offering holistic, multidisciplinary, and neurodivergent affirming diagnostic evaluations for children who are suspected to be Autistic.
We understand the process of seeking an evaluation can be overwhelming. Our goal is to offer you an evaluation experience that is straight forward and efficient but gives you the time and space to discuss all that is on your mind. Our goal is to help your child to thrive!
We are dedicated to utilizing a neurodivergent affirming approach and strive to align with practices that are preferred by actually Autistic adults whenever possible.

Sometimes difficulties become apparent after removal of tonsils or adenoids. If you notice your child choking frequently during eating and drinking, it may be worth having their swallow evaluated.
Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapists consider the whole child as we support skill building and independence, sensory wellness and self-regulation, family/social relationships and a child’s life environment both at home and in community.

Speech
Adults may experience difficulty with the clarity of their speech for a variety of reasons including stroke, head injury, or other neurological diseases. Speech Language Pathologists are skilled in facilitating rehabilitation and compensation for difficulties with speech, sometimes this means exploring alternative means of communication with the use of technology. At Catalyst we strive to provide these services in a creative and personally relevant way.
Language
Language skills can also be impacted by a variety of neurological events, including but not limited to stroke, head injury, or dementia. You may notice that it is difficult to get words out or that your family members' stories are difficult to follow. A person's ability to understand language may also be impacted. Speech-Language Pathologists provide specific interventions and cues to slowly re-build communication abilities.
Cognition
Cognition refers to a complex set of skills including memory, problem solving, safety awareness, and organization. Difficulties with cognition can result from diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, or Dementia, among others. Speech Language Pathologists can train individuals to use compensatory strategies in order to maintain independence as long as possible. If a person can no longer learn new strategies, the SLP will work with family and caregivers on ways to best support their loved one while maintaining dignity.
Swallow
Have you noticed that you or a loved one are having a hard time eating or drinking without coughing and choking? You likely do not have to "just live with it". There are a variety of ways Speech Language Pathologists can help make eating safer and more comfortable.

- Change your intonation, or the rhythm of your speech
- Work on volume, or how loud you speak
- Change the language you use to help you utilize your most authentic voice
- Teach you to notice body language and mannerisms, evaluate which ones serve you, and adjust according to what feels most affirming to you

People of all ages can experience difficulties with their voice for reasons ranging from overuse to disease such as Parkinson's. Our adult specialist is a certified provider of LSVT LOUD--a program for people with a soft voice as a result of Parkinson's disease. Voice disorders are not something you just have to live with!
