Neurodiversity &
Accessibility in the Clinic
At All Good Pets, accessibility isn't an afterthought. It's woven into how we welcome every client and pet who walks through our door. We want everyone, regardless of how they communicate, process information, or move through the world, to feel safe and supported here.
We're always learning. As our understanding grows, so does our practice, because creating a space where people and pets can thrive together is an ongoing commitment, not a finished project.

Neurodiversity and accessibility are not separate initiatives or marketing goals. They are the foundation of everything we do. They shape how we communicate, how we schedule, and how we have designed our clinic to be a calm, welcoming space for everyone. Our approach is born from our own lived experience and a simple, core belief: that clear, predictable, and calm systems create a better experience for both our team and the pets we support. That experience started long before we opened this practice.
A Personal Foundation
Meet Emily, Our Inspiration
Our work is shaped in part by Emily, our 20-year-old daughter, who was born with Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum, a condition where the nerves connecting the two sides of the brain do not develop. She also has autism, cerebral palsy, ADHD, and cortical visual impairment.

Supporting Emily required us to rethink how learning, communication, and daily life could work. The same problem-solving, flexibility, and respect for individual differences became the foundation of this practice.
Emily was involved in the early stages of All Good Pets and still helps when she can. Her perspective continues to influence how we approach care, communication, and expectations.

Our Commitment
We are frustrated by the lack of job opportunities and meaningful support for neurodivergent adults in our community. We are committed to changing that in the ways we can. My own experience with post-concussion syndrome, memory challenges, and decreased stamina shaped the pace and structure of this practice. It grew slowly and thoughtfully, built on an environment that supports both our clients and our team.
Making an Accessible Space for Everyone
Step-Free & Ground Level
The exterior entrance is level with no steps and all treatments happen at ground level. There are stairs just inside the door, and we are working on replacing it with French doors to improve access.
Wide Entry Ways
Treatment rooms are large and doorways meet wheelchair accessibility standards throughout at 36” wide. The treadmill room is a bit more compact but can still be navigated with a wheelchair.
Fully Accessible Restroom
The restroom features a large open layout, grab bars, and a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair.
Have specific accessibility needs or questions about navigating our space? Please reach out before your visit and we'll do everything we can to make sure you and your pet feel welcome.
