About Us

Silicon Valley Communication Connection is a neurodiversity-affirming speech-language pathology private practice specializing in social cognition. We are devoted to helping clients meet their self-identified social goals across domains, including friendships, romantic relationships, family dynamics, academics, careers, or simply understanding more about the people and world around them.

At SVCC we help people deconstruct and interpret the intricacies of the social world. We do not focus on teaching rote skills or behaviors (e.g., how to “behave”, “listen,” make eye contact, or greet people). Rather than taking a behavioral approach, our teaching emphasizes strengthening the underlying thinking in situations. This deeper understanding helps people determine how to respond within the context to meet their own desires.

Services are designed for people of all neurotypes as we ALL benefit from support to navigate the complexities of the social world and interact with others. Our work is informed by our years of clinical expertise, our clients’ input, and Autistic/other ND voices throughout the community. We draw from a variety of methodologies and adapt them to meet our clients’ needs. We operate from a mindset committed to ongoing listening, learning, and collaboration.

Silicon Valley Communication Connection is a small private-pay private practice established in 2015. We offer in-person services at our clinic in San Jose, CA and teletherapy services throughout AZ, CA, CO, and WA.
