At Boho Speechie, we provide resources, tools, and education to empower parents and therapists to provide the best care, support, and therapy for autistic and neurodivergent children.
LET'S DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY...TOGETHER.
Are you ready to change your understanding and how you support autistic children?
Let's talk about how we can do things differently...
01. CHILD-LED APPROACH
We believe in following the child's lead. This means prioritizing the interests and natural inclinations of each child, creating a more engaging and effective therapeutic experience. Our approach respects and values the unique ways autistic children communicate and interact with the world.
02. NEURODIVERSITY AFFIRMING
Boho Speechie is rooted in a neurodiversity-affirming perspective. We celebrate and honor the diverse ways brains can function and reject any form of pathologizing autistic behaviors. Our goal is to support autistic children in a way that affirms their identity and empowers them to thrive.
03. LISTENING TO AUTISTIC VOICES
We prioritize the insights and experiences of autistic individuals. Their voices shape our methodologies, ensuring our products and resources are respectful, relevant, and effective. By listening to those with lived experience, we stay attuned to what truly matters in supporting autistic children.

FREEBIE HANDOUTS TO GET YOU STARTED ON YOUR GESTALT LANGUAGE JOURNEY
Hi! I’m Katja, the face behind Boho Speechie.
With a passion for helping autistic children and their families thrive, I have dedicated myself exclusively to working with autistic children. And for the past 5 years, I have taken an even deeper dive into Gestalt Language Processing.
My experience has taught me that each child is unique and requires personalized support—there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Through Boho Speechie, I seek to help therapists and parents understand how to support their autistic children in developing language in a way that is clear, affirming, and accessible.
Presentations for schools, organizations, & conferences

Our programs, ranging in length from 2 to 8 hours, will make your whole team feel confident in supporting autistic children and gestalt language processors, leading to better outcomes for your organization and the families that you serve.
We have experience providing strengths-based therapy services in school and private practice settings, allowing us to offer strategies and therapy ideas that you can implement immediately.
