“…confidence, engagement, and curiosity for learning.”
At Neurocare For Kids we are proud to bring neurodivergent voices to families of Autistic, ADHD, and highly sensitive children. We make it easy to bridge the gap between affirming care and everyday life. Our areas of expertise include:
Regulation skills and sensory supports to decrease meltdown frequency and intensity
Friendship and social skills for school, play dates, or sibling dynamics
School readiness
Shame reduction (for parenting too!)
Lifestyle habits like sleep routines or mealtimes
Through lived experience, we understand the nuance of autistic and disability culture. This allows for autistic children and families to see themselves reflected in their own therapy. The connection between autistic therapists and autistic children is highly authentic. As a result, kids show greater confidence, engagement, and curiosity for learning and other life experiences.

Our founder
Meet Angie Gille, the heart and mind behind Neurocare For Kids! She founded the clinic with a passionate mission – to empower neurodivergent children through identity-affirming care.
Having witnessed the natural connection Autistic kids form with neurodivergent adults, Angie believes visibility of identity is key to inspiring confidence. It is Neurocare’s mission to ensure neurodivergent kids can proudly participate in their lives without sacrificing authenticity.
Being autistic, Angie empathizes deeply with the demands for masking, emotional meltdowns, social confusion, and shame often experienced by neurodivergent children and their families. As a practitioner, she uses a compassion-based and affirming approach to ensure emotional safety and normalization of individuality. Angie believes parents are the experts on their children, and Autistic adults are the experts on neurodiversity and identity-affirming practices. Together, you can create a full and meaningful childhood for your kid.
Angie received her Bachelor’s in Special Education and Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from the University of Wisconsin – Madison. In 2021 she completed her Doctorate at the University of Utah with a research focus on identity-affirming care in public education. Angie has worked for over a decade as a school-based occupational therapist. She has also worked in neurodevelopmental clinics, home health, and as a clinical supervisor.
