The Heartbreaking Truth About Traditional Autism Therapy
Dear Worried Parent,
You’re here because something isn’t working with your child’s therapy.
Maybe your child has been in behavioral therapy for months or even years, but you’re not seeing the progress you hoped for.
Perhaps you’re watching your beautiful, unique child become more “compliant”… but less joyful. Or maybe you’re seeing behaviors that only happen in therapy sessions but disappear the moment you get home.
You’re not alone, and it’s not your fault.
Here’s what most parents don’t know:
Traditional behavioral therapy focuses on making children with autism appear “normal” rather than helping them truly develop and thrive.
It’s like teaching someone to paint by numbers instead of helping them become an artist.
But there’s hope.
My name is Sharon Lowery, and for the past 40 years, I’ve been helping families discover what’s possible when autism therapy honors who your child really is.
I’ve seen children with autism who were labeled “difficult” or “non-responsive” suddenly begin to:
- Communicate in ways that feel natural to them
- Show genuine joy and engagement with family
- Have meaningful relationships with family, friends and peers
- Develop real problem-solving skills that work everywhere
- Build confidence instead of just compliance
Here’s what makes our approach different:
Instead of trying to “fix” your child with autism, we work with their natural strengths and interests.
Instead of forcing eye contact and quiet hands, we follow their lead,utilizing their unique interests and loves and build from there.
Instead of rewards and consequences, we use play and genuine connection and heartful celebrations of their accomplishments and progress.
The result?
Children who don’t just follow directions, but who think, feel, and connect authentically.

Relationship-Based Autism Therapy vs Traditional Behavioral Methods
Relationship-Based Autism Therapy

☑️ Builds long-term emotional resilience
Traditional Behavioral Methods

✖️ Often creates anxiety and masking behaviors
✖️ Keeps parents on the sidelines

✖️ Ignores the autistic child’s natural learning style
✖️ Can damage self-esteem and authenticity

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the ABA therapy we're doing now?
Most autism therapy focuses on changing behaviors. We focus on building relationships and natural development. Instead of teaching your child rote skills, we teach them in a scientific developmental progression with an intensive focus on their unique neurobiological challenges.
Will Regional Center pay for this autism therapy?
Yes! We’re a Regional Center approved provider. Autism therapy services are 100% covered with no out-of-pocket costs to your family.
What if my child has tried other therapies and they didn't work?
That’s exactly why we use the DIR/Floortime Model®. Many of our most successful children come to us after other methods didn’t work.
How long does it take to see results with this autism therapy?
Every child is different, but most families notice positive changes in engagement and connection within the first few weeks.
Do you work with children who have challenging behaviors?
Absolutely. We understand that challenging behaviors are often communication attempts. Our approach helps reduce these behaviors by addressing the underlying needs the child is expressing.
Warning: The Cost of Waiting
Every month matters in your autistic child’s development.
The families who see the most dramatic improvements are those who make the switch to
relationship-based autism therapy early.
Here’s what happens when you wait
- Your child may become more rigid and resistant to genuine connection
- Negative therapy experiences can create lasting anxiety and create resistance to forming relationships
- Missed opportunities for natural development windows
- Frequent increase in isolation and self-stimulatory behavior
- Family stress and frustration continues to build
But here’s what happens when you act now
- Your child begins developing authentic relationship and communication skills
- Family relationships improve dramatically
- You gain confidence as your child’s advocate
- Your child’s natural unique personality begins to shine
