jtcausm.com just got a major upgrade.

Fresh new look, and we have added articles and resources to help families learn more about RDI and what our approach actually looks like in practice.

And if you have been wondering whether now is a good time to reach out, the answer is yes. We are currently accepting new clients with no waitlist. Your family will not be sitting on a list waiting for a spot.

Whether you are a family exploring options for your child, or someone who works with autistic kids in the community, our site is designed to answer your questions and make it easy to reach us.

Go check it out: jtcausm.com

And if you know a family who could use support, feel free to send it their way.

Summer is exciting, but for a lot of our families it also brings a wave of "why is my child struggling more right now?"

Routines disappear. School ends. Schedules that kept things predictable are suddenly gone. And kids who worked so hard all year can feel that shift in ways that are really hard to watch.

You're not doing anything wrong. Transitions are genuinely harder for many autistic children, and summer is one of the biggest transitions of the year.

A few small things that can help:

Keep one or two routines as anchors, even if everything else is looser. A consistent morning activity or a regular mealtime can do more than you'd expect.

Give as much warning as you can before changes happen. A quick "in 10 minutes we're going to..." goes a long way.

And don't underestimate just being together. Low-pressure, connection-focused time matters, even when it doesn't feel "therapeutic."

If summer has your family needing a little extra support, we'd love to help. Send us a message or give us a call at (612) 756-9107 to ask about availability.

Big news from our team.

Please help us welcome Nikki Patun, LPCC-NCC, as the new Chief Clinical Officer of JtC AUSM!

If your family has worked with us over the past few years, there's a good chance Nikki has had a hand in your child's care. She's spent years guiding our clinicians, shaping how we build treatment plans, and making sure the families we serve feel genuinely supported, first as a Clinical Supervisor and then as our QSP Lead.

With over three years of dedicated autism-specific clinical experience, Nikki brings deep expertise to the role. But what the families and staff who know her talk about most is her heart. She has a way of sitting with a worried parent or a busy clinician and leaving both feeling cared for and a little more hopeful.

In this new role, Nikki will lead our clinical vision and help us keep doing what we're here to do: walk alongside children and families with compassion and care.

Congratulations, Nikki. We're so grateful for you.

As Mental Health Awareness Month wraps up, we want to leave one idea on the table that does not expire with the calendar.

For autistic children and the families who love them, mental health and well-being are part of everyday life. The stress, the small victories, the search for someone who truly gets it. None of that fits neatly inside one month.

At JtC AUSM, our approach starts from connection first. Using Relationship Development Intervention (RDI), we focus on building real, two-way relationships between children and their families, because that is where lasting confidence and emotional resilience grow.

And something that matters for families right now: we are currently accepting new clients with no waitlist. If your family is ready for support, you do not have to wait for it.

If you have questions, or know a family who could use support, send us a message. We would love to talk.

Day one back in St. Louis Park.

Last Monday our St. Louis Park location reopened its doors, and today the lights are on, the team is in, and families are walking back into a space built around them.

For the families we serve, consistency matters. Familiar faces, a familiar room, a familiar rhythm. That is what RDI is built on, and that is what we are committed to offering across both of our locations in Burnsville and St. Louis Park.

If you know a family in the Twin Cities exploring EIDBI services and looking for an RDI-based provider, we would love to hear from you. Our doors are open.

We're thrilled to share this wonderful feedback from one of our families! 🌟

""In the beginning, it was difficult for my child to follow instructions when asked to. So far he has improved with listening to directions and in his speech over time in the program. My child can now advocate and ask for items that were previously a bit more challenging. He has also improved in his self-care skills and getting up in the morning as he is excited to go to the program.""

Hearing about these positive changes and growth truly makes our work worthwhile. 💙 We’re committed to supporting each child’s journey and celebrating their progress every step of the way.
