Tim is doing well in all he does. We see a difference since he has been taking classes with Teacher Amy. He's able to tell us how he's feeling, and that is HUGE. Teacher Amy is wonderful and Sparkles is a sweetheart.
Thank you Teacher Amy for all you do for your students!
Nancy
Classes with Teacher Amy and Sparkles have been an amazing experience for my son. My son is immediately calmed by the presence of Sparky. Teacher Amy is so kind and patient in teaching him to communicate his thoughts and feelings. I highly recommend her classes. One of the best choices I have made for our family. I wish I had met her when my son was little.
