Why Choose Kids Connecting?
Our Model of Care
At KidsConnecting, we pride ourselves on offering a truly personalized and intimate experience for young autistic and neurodivergent children. Our clinic is designed to feel relaxed and homelike, creating a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment for children and families.
Parents
PARENTS play an essential role in every child’s therapy journey. We welcome and encourage your involvement. Parent coaching is a key part of what we do
Play
PLAY is at the heart of your child’s therapy at KidsConnecting. We believe children learn best through play, especially with a responsive, engaging, and trusted adult.
Peers
PEERS and group learning are also vital parts of our services. We offer small, carefully designed groups for autistic and neurodivergent children aged two to eight.
WHO WE ARE
About Kids Connecting
Unlike larger clinics, you’ll work directly with our Founder and Clinical Director, Stacey Baskind, ensuring your child receives the highest quality care.
At KidsConnecting, we provide expert, evidence-based therapy from highly qualified professionals who care deeply about each child’s growth and well-being.
We understand the need for flexibility. Most clients participate in one or two hours of individual therapy/parent coaching, plus a two-hour group each week — providing meaningful support without overwhelming your family’s schedule. At KidsConnecting, we believe that children thrive when they feel happy, safe, respected, and connected — and everything we do is built to make that happen.

PARENT SUPPORT AND COACHING
As a parent, I understand both the joys and challenges of raising a child, and I know these can feel even more profound for families of neurodivergent children. I strongly believe in the value of parent coaching as part of any therapeutic program.
