Social Connectedness Across the Autism Spectrum

Social skills therapy—redesigned from the ground up

Innovator in Care for the Autistic Population

I’m Rachel Dorsey, CCC-SLP (she/her), a Speech-Language Pathologist and Autistic Activist. I have a decade of clinical experience and have presented nationally and internationally on neuro-affirming care. I focus on working with autistic kids ranging from early childhood to preteen years, only accepting older teenagers and young adults if it is agreed to be a good fit.

The heart of my work—whether that be language therapy, social skills therapy, feeding therapy, and broader autism activism—focuses on the very human desire for social connectedness.

Autistic humans are no different.
