The Values That Guide Our Team

Every team member at Spring Learning Services embodies our core values in their daily practice.

Neurodiversity-Affirming

We celebrate differences and honor each child's authentic self. Our team is trained in approaches that build on strengths rather than focusing solely on deficits.

Evidence-Based Practice

Our team uses proven, research-backed strategies while adapting them to fit each family's unique culture, values, and goals.

Family Partnership

We work alongside families as partners, not experts telling you what to do. Your insights about your child are invaluable to our team.

Joy-Centered Learning

Our team believes therapy should feel joyful, not stressful. We prioritize play, connection, and moments of delight in every session.
