Where therapy meets the whole child

Neurodiversity-affirming therapy in Berks County, Pennsylvania

Supporting communication, regulation, and growth through play, partnership, and joy.

Our Mission

We support each child through relationship-based, connection-driven care that honors their individuality, interests, and joy. Families are always welcome - we grow together, through trust.

Our Specialties

We specialize in developmental therapy that supports communication, regulation, play, and meaningful connection. Every session is tailored to the child, grounded in trust, and rooted in relationships.

Why Work With Us

We follow the child’s lead and partner with families every step of the way. Our work is rooted in real relationships - not just strategies - so that growth feels natural and lasting.

At Around the Spectrum Therapy, we believe development isn’t linear - it’s dynamic, circular, and uniquely shaped by each child’s way of being in the world. While our name began as a reflection of the autism spectrum, it’s grown to represent something even larger: the full spectrum of childhood - communication, play, regulation, movement, joy, and connection.

We use checklists and categories as tools - not labels. Every child deserves support that adapts to them, not the other way around. We go around with them. Following their lead. Building trust. Co-creating moments of growth through attuned, affirming support.

Our mission is to support each child through relationship-based, connection-driven care that centers their individuality, interests, and joy. We believe that meaningful progress is rooted in trust - not compliance - and that growth happens when children feel safe, seen, and supported as they are.

Sessions are guided by the child’s lead, with play, special interests, and co-regulation woven into every interaction. We honor each child’s way of engaging with the world - and support them with curiosity, compassion, and respect.

Families are always welcome. Whether you're in the room, asking questions, or learning alongside us, your insight is valued. Caregivers are invited to participate as much or as little as feels right - no pressure, just partnership.

We’re more than a therapy service - we’re a connected, values-driven practice that supports families across the spectrum of developmental experiences. Together, we create a space where connection, growth, and confidence can thrive - on each child’s terms.

Meet Cassidy - Owner & Speech-Language Pathologist

Welcome! I’m Cassidy.

I’m the founder of Around the Spectrum Therapy and a speech-language pathologist dedicated to supporting children in ways that are rooted in relationship, respect, and joy.

I started this practice to create the kind of space I believe every family deserves - one where children are seen for who they are, not just what they’re working on. My work is grounded in curiosity, connection, and the belief that meaningful progress starts with trust.

Whether I’m working directly with your child or you’re supported by another member of our team, know that this practice was built with intention: to follow the child, value the family, and make room for growth that truly fits.

  • "My daughter loves going to speech therapy"

    Cassidy does an amazing job of connecting with your child and alters each session to meet them where they are at.

  • "My little one loves going here!"

    He looks forward to it every week. We have seen progress, and we enjoy growing in a neurodiversity-affirming environment! Cassidy is very knowledgable and willing to share that knowledge with parents.

How it All Works

  • Start by sharing a little about your child and what you're looking for - whether it's therapy, an evaluation, or support navigating school services.

  • We'll help you figure out which service best aligns with your goals and walk you through what to expect.

  • Begin services with a clear plan in place - whether that’s weekly therapy, a short-term intensive, or a one-time evaluation.

  • As we move forward, we’ll stay in communication, track progress, and adjust support when needed to make sure it continues to meet your needs.
