TESTIMONIALS
When I met with Liz, I was blown away with how kind and thorough the service was. I had a lot of worries, being based in California-how will my child stay engaged through tele-therapy sessions, will her teacher be able to foster that attention from her that is needed for her to improve and will this program be effective?Let me tell you Liz was all that and more. Not only was my daughter interested and engaged but in times of difficulty Liz was so patient and encouraging fluidity throughout the session. Liz’s strategy to incorporate simple tips into our routine has put my child leaps and bounds ahead of where we started. Liz ends the lessons with summaries of things we learned, how to implement them moving forward and that we are doing a good job! I am so thankful and can’t express my gratitude enough.
