Empowering Autistic Learners Through Communication, Education, Arts, and Fitness

Personalized academic, art, movement, and communication support for all autistic learners - speaking, non-speaking, and everything in between.

About the Surya Autism Collective

At Surya Autism Collective, we support autistic learners through age-respectful education, spelling-based communication support, movement sessions for health and motor planning, and creative expression in art and music.

We welcome learners of all ages and support needs - including letterboard users, speaking individuals, those with no reliable method of communication, and people with apraxia or dyspraxia across a wide range of motor profiles.

Our Services!

All of our services are built on a foundation of presumed competence and center on the development of skills - such as motor skills, communication, knowledge, and creative expression

Every learner is welcomed just as they are - there is no need to "prove" a certain ability to be met with dignity, respect, and support. We meet each student where they are. Always.

Academic Tutoring

One-on-one academic support tailored to each student's unique learning style and communication needs. Classes and lessons offered regardless of student's output. Education is for everyone.
