Kind Words

“We are so grateful for Jodi! I struggled for years to find an adequate speech therapist for my daughter. Since working with Jodi, she has been THRIVING! She is more confident, curious and connected with everyone around her. Jodi listens, connects, and redirects in such a fun and engaging way. I was hesitant about virtual therapy, but my daughter jumped right in and loved it. One week Jodi zoom'd in with her favorite pop star in the background and the next week was a fun game centered around a favorite toy she had mentioned previously. I learned how to be a better support for my kiddo just by listening to their zoom sessions. It's been a real relief for this worry-worm mom. I tell everyone about her! A GEM!!”
