Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD)
Compassionate, Personalized Support for Individuals with Cognitive and Developmental Differences
At Woodlands Psychotherapy and Brain Training, we provide specialized care for individuals living with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD). This includes conditions such as Intellectual Disability, Global Developmental Delay, Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, and other cognitive or developmental differences.
Our approach focuses on helping clients build skills, reduce frustration, improve communication, and increase independence—all within a supportive and affirming therapeutic environment.
What is IDD?
Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) is a broad term that refers to conditions that begin in childhood and affect:
-
Intellectual functioning (e.g., learning, reasoning, problem-solving)
-
Adaptive functioning (e.g., everyday social and practical skills)
Each individual is unique, and no two people with IDD are alike. That’s why we take the time to understand each person’s strengths, challenges, and goals.

Neurodiversity-Affirming Care
We believe that every brain is different—and every individual deserves care that respects their strengths and differences. Our team is experienced in working with clients who are nonverbal, minimally verbal, or who use alternative communication methods. We also understand the unique challenges that come with navigating care systems, IEPs, and transitions into adulthood.
