We followed through with the therapist you recommended for Katy’s speech issues, and are seeing steady improvement each week. She looks forward to meeting with her each week – they have really made a connection that also helps her with the social anxieties she previously experienced. This process was very worthwhile since she now recognizes that she can do anything with guidance and assistance. She’s making friends and not avoiding school for the first time in years. Seeing her genuinely smile again is wonderful – thanks for guiding us on the path to a happier Katy.
