We’ve been using the service since April, and our son is making steady, meaningful progress.

She’s patient, transparent, communicates clearly, and always keeps us updated in a timely and effective way. Best of all, our son really enjoys the sessions!”

“…you have had a massive impact on my son, I was at the point of giving up hope, then you came along and now he can tell me his name, how old he is, where he lives, what’s clean and dirty and [he names] things he sees.
…we’ve waited 7 [years], and [now] verbally [he] tell[s] [me] things when I least expect it. Not just me, the wider range of family have noticed a big change in his vocabulary and communication and understanding.
I’m feeling excited and positive to see how much he changes from now to the next 6 months, just in 4 months he has changed a lot.”
