Where do I start….. Like another parent said, the moment we walked in my son was excited to be there. His previous therapy reminded him of the doctor’s office. My husband said that the atmosphere was very welcoming and of course Mrs. Ester too. My son came twice a week and he was starting to build a routine. He even start to familiarize himself around the room and where everything was. I know my son enjoyed his time here even though it was too short. Mrs. Ester definitely made an impact on my boy’s life. Definitely worth it!

The moment we walked in for our first session my son was completely comfortable, we felt so welcomed by Miss Ester! She is kind and caring, my son looked forward to his weekly sessions which had a big impact on progress. Miss Ester was always open to speak about progress, share what they worked on, and feedback for how we can support at home. We thoroughly discussed goals before we started which made me feel great to have a solid plan. Highly recommend!
