Our Team
Hello! I’m Anna Wattam

I’ve studied child development, child psychology, and early childhood education and combined it with over a decade of experience working with children of a various ages, backgrounds, diagnosis (or lack thereof) both individually and in groups.
My Approach & Values
Here at Creative Autism Therapies we believe in letting kids be kids, no matter their label. Our curricula are designed to be maximally engaging as well as effective. Our expert staff will assist your child in
building diverse skills such as effective communication, self-regulation, social interaction, and self-care. We focus on evidence-based interventions that are continuously re-evaluated for efficacy and industry standards, and customize each interaction to the skills and interests of the individual.
We believe that children are more than a diagnosis. Our services build holistic development, partnering with family and community to create well-rounded, happy, healthy, independent individuals. Give us a call or email us at creativeautismtherapies@gmail.com in order to find out how we can help you change your life.
