What People Are Saying

“I just want you to know how much I appreciate the work that you are doing. We also have so many care providers who try hard to stand by our children but eventually give up because of the behaviors they present. It is so encouraging to be able to help caregivers make sense of the child's behaviors so that they know where to focus their caregiving energy. ”
