Client Testimonial

Thank you so much Natalie for your professional, sensitive, skilled assessment and care of Lou. She wasn’t sure about the need for a speech pathologist assessment …but your agency enhancing approach, reinforcement of her own efforts to date and practical suggestions for the future, won her over. I will bring her back to you, for a review in the next 6 months.
