Hi, I’m Daria Ross.
As a mother of three, I understand how profoundly communication and feeding challenges can impact a family - The Growth Garden Collective was built from clinical experience and lived understanding.
My Approach
While my work is centered in early childhood, I bring over a decade of experience serving individuals across groups and a broad spectrum of communication and feeding needs. I have a particular passion for Augmentative and Alternative Commuication (AAC), supporting families through thoughtful evaluation, customized programming, and ongoing implementation to ensure each child has access to a reliable, meaningful voice.
Simple ideas
Therapy at the Growth Garden Collective is play-based, child-led and developmentally grounded. Rather than structured drills or worksheets, we believe communication develops best in the moments of connection. Families are active partners in the process. Together, we build practical, realistic strategies that support growth not only during sessions, but throughout everyday life.
Lasting impact
The focus is not on temporary change, but enduring growth - skills that support confidence, connection, and independence over time.
