You don’t have to know yet — most families don’t!
During the connection call, we talk through communication goals, sensory preferences, and interests. From there, we recommend Music, Storymaking, Adventures, or a blend based on what feels most supportive.
Your first session functions as a gentle trial. We explore what resonates, check for comfort and engagement, and adjust in real time. There’s no commitment until you feel confident moving forward.
Kids, teens, and adults. Sessions are always individualized — not age-based — so we build from where the person is, not how old they are.

No two sessions look the same. We follow the individual’s interests, sensory profile, and communication style. Sessions might include music, drawing, character creation, movement, or collaborative storytelling. The through-line is always attunement, creativity, and connection.
While Attune Arts is an SLP-led, neurodivergent-affirming, creative communication practice, this is NOT therapy.
Some families use sessions to support communication, regulation, or social engagement; others use them to expand creative expression.
We can also collaborate with your existing therapists or school teams if helpful, but we are NOT a medical clinic.
Absolutely. We welcome all communication styles — spoken, gestural, AAC, art-based, movement-based, and everything in between.
Every session is tailored for comfort. We pace gently, adjust volume and lighting, offer quiet alternatives, and follow the individual’s lead. Nothing is forced, rushed, or overwhelming.
Yes. Some clients love music only, others want a mix (e.g., comics + improv storytelling, or music + adventures). We build a unique pathway for each person.
Absolutely! Sometimes shared creativity boosts connection; sometimes a quieter space helps focus. We’ll talk through your family’s needs and choose the setup that works best.

Sessions can take place where it is most comfortable and supportive for you. Options include:
- Attune Arts Studio in Downtown Lake Forest — calm, accessible, low-distraction space
- In-home — for comfort or reduced transitions
- Virtual — great for older kids, teens, and adults
- Community Setting (like a library, local Starbucks, etc) — ideal for students hoping to connect with the broader community
One-on-one sessions are generally 45 minutes. Timing for group sessions vary depending on the activity. We’ll help you choose what’s best based on attention, regulation, and goals.
Most families choose weekly or every-other-week. We also offer seasonal sessions and flexible scheduling.

- 30-min individual session: $50
- 45-min individual session: $75
- Add-on for siblings/family: +$25 per person
Attune Arts not a medical clinic, and is private pay.
24 hours notice is appreciated so we can offer the spot to another family. Emergency situations are always understood.
If cost is a barrier, please tell us. We’re committed to accessibility and can discuss options individually.

Yes. With permission, we’re happy to connect with your SLP, OT, ABA team, school staff, or care network to ensure consistent support.
Yes — AAC is fully welcomed and supported. We can incorporate devices into music, storytelling, or adventures in meaningful, low-pressure ways.

Totally up to you.
Some families stay in the room, some wait outside, and some join for the last few minutes. We’ll choose a rhythm that supports comfort, trust, and regulation.
Updates happen organically. We’ll chat briefly after sessions or send a short message when something is worth noting. If you’d like a more in-depth update, I’m always happy to set up a call!

Yes. Sessions are designed to meet each person where they are. We’ll go slowly, stay predictable, and follow their comfort cues.
Movement, sensory tools, and co-regulation are all part of the experience. Breaks, pacing, and flexibility are built into every session.
Absolutely. Attune Arts is an affirming practice for all neurotypes, identities, and communication styles.
