Benjamin Ady

Originally from the United States, Benjamin earned a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Washington in Seattle, followed by a Master's degree in Speech Pathology from the University of Melbourne. Driven by a desire to support children with speech and language disorders, autism spectrum disorder, and related challenges, Benjamin pursued a career in speech pathology. Since 2013, he has served as a Senior Speech Pathologist at neurocare. Before this role, he operated his own business as an Autism consultant and play-based therapist, focusing on a developmental approach to autism treatment. Benjamin is known for his compassionate, family-centered approach, finding great fulfillment in helping children enhance their communication skills. He also empowers parents by teaching them how to support their children's growth in verbal and non-verbal communication, interactive attention span, and social-emotional flexibility. He excels at connecting with children who have struggled to form relationships with other therapists and assists parents in leveraging their children's intrinsic motivations to foster social rapport and interaction, which are vital to their development. At neurocare, Benjamin has witnessed the positive impact of neuromodulation therapies like Neurofeedback and Auditory Training and considers them valuable elements of a personalized therapy program.
