Autistic-led Play-Based Therapy
& Affirming Social Connections.
Our company is founded by Autistic parents, for Autistic children.
At TEC, we needed to see a change in the world, so we created it. We created a place for our children where they felt safe to be themselves, so they could learn, grow and develop. We created adventures where neuro-kin came together and friendships were forged. We created a community where parents and carers had support and understanding.
We provide our Autistic community with neuro-affirming therapy, diagnostics, social connection and family support.
This is TEC. Welcome to our Tribe.
