Christina Charlesworth BSc

Autism Communications Specialist

Christina “Cece” Charlesworth has been dedicated to advancing care and communication strategies for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) since 2020, with a specialized focus on stem cell therapy and neurodivergent development. Her approach is deeply individualized—centered around truly understanding each child and their unique experiences to deliver personalized, compassionate guidance.

With a strong belief in the power of both verbal and nonverbal communication, Cece’s methodology is rooted in fostering deeper understanding and promoting healthy independence. She has extensive experience working closely with nonverbal clients, helping them build the tools needed to engage meaningfully with their environment and the people around them.

In her commitment to evidence-based practices, Cece created and implemented a comprehensive survey to track the reduction of autism symptoms. She uses both quantitative data and anecdata to optimize patient outcomes. This data-driven approach allows Cece to continuously refine her methods and ensure that each patient receives the most effective care possible, tailored to their specific needs and goals.

Cece holds a Bachelor of Science in Human Communication from the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication at Arizona State University. In addition to her degree, she has pursued continuing education in abnormal psychology, special education, and medical terminology. She also holds a professional certificate in the Fundamentals of Neurodivergence and has served as an Instructional Specialist at her alma mater, contributing to the next generation of communicators and educators.

Throughout her career, Cece has developed and led programs specifically designed for children on the spectrum across diverse settings. She is a firm advocate for individualized learning—rejecting one-size-fits-all models in favor of customized approaches that draw from each individual’s strengths and challenges. Her work emphasizes communication as the gateway to self-regulation, autonomy, and confidence.

Passionate, hands-on, and deeply empathetic, Cece strives to find solutions that benefit not only patients but also their families and caregivers, fostering a holistic and inclusive support system.
When she’s not working, Cece enjoys staying active at the gym, reading, and spending quality time with her family, friends, and her four pets.
