Testimonials

4 months ago

Deborah holds our highest regards. She is kind and caring and has been our "bridge" to helping our daughter who has been diagnosed with ADHD. We have seen many therapists to help address many concerns (behaviorally & educationally). Her pediatrician recommended speaking with an Occupational Therapist (for sensory needs) though we never went down this avenue because we didn't notice any outward physical concerns, besides her handwriting. In the initial evaluation she keyed in on two physical concerns and has been working with her weekly for a few months now. Needless to say her behaviors have drastically decreased. She has lifted our girl's confidence & spirit. We are ever grateful.

*****Post a Google Review*****

5/2019 “My child is writing with more ease and more quality and quantity at home and in the classroom." ~Parent
1/12/20 "Our child was tearing and tiring when she practiced her reading and writing skills. She no longer tears and is excited about reading to her brother. I feel that removing this barrier helped her succeed in school. Deborah was able to identify areas of improvement no other OT had seen. She was skillful and varied in her approach. Every therapy session was a game. We truly appreciate Deborah’s dedication to our child’s success." ~Parent
12/27/19 "My child seems to be more coordinated and self-sufficient in getting dressed, etc. Better eating etiquette. And not as hesitant to read". ~Parent
1/10/20 "After I did the exercises, I did my homework faster and didn't yell". ~Child
