Testimonials

"Thank you for your very kind note. In the absence of time, I wanted to send you a quick response to say THANK YOU. You have done an *exceptional* job with Brianna--going above and beyond, thinking outside the box, really getting to know her, and supporting us at every step of the way. You are a very talented person/OT, and we are lucky to have gotten the chance to work with you. Please know how appreciative we are of all that you have done for Brianna."

"I think the report does an excellent job -- better than I have ever been able to do -- of explaining what I experience. It will be a great educational tool for any MD I see in the future. You are really the first person I've seen who has been able to really take in and understand what I'm saying in all of this."

"Wanted to send a quick update on the past week. It's hard for us to believe but Ellie has essentially slept through the night every night since last Wednesday. Wonder if we finally hit a turning point! Also she loved your thank you card and upon reading it told me "let's read it every day" :)"

“Generally we think Jeff has improved a great deal - Because of you & OTA. Our lives have definitely changed for the better in the 15 months we have been here. He absolutely loves coming here. OTA has been unbelievably AMAZING!!!! We love OTA!!!”

“It has been an absolute pleasure to work so closely with (OTA consulting OT) over the past two days of our OT seminar! I have learned so much from her observations and feedback. She has also been able to easily identify students who present with sensory needs and has given concrete and constructive suggestions to teachers on how to best support these students in the classroom. Our teachers are reporting that this is an extremely beneficial seminar and that they feel empowered and educated by her consultations."

Thank you so much for meeting with me and my mom last Thursday. Your explanation of SPD was so clear and it was incredibly comforting to finally have a better understanding of how Dave's brain and body work. We could not be more thrilled to have you in his corner! Please know how appreciative we are of all you have done so far to make him feel comfortable and excited to see you every week and for all you have done to educate us on how to help him. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
