We look forward to workwith Ms Kayla, I know it will be great to becauseeveryone is just niceMy son has been seeing Ms. Emma for some time now,he absolutely loves to come to speech and is alwayssad to leave. Emma has taken her time to understandhim, even when his words fail him she sees him. Shenot only gives him a safe space to learn, pushboundaries, and grow she has created a bond withhim that he doesn’t usually allow with many people.We are incredibly grateful for her and all the workshe puts in, in order for him to progress.Mercy B.Jayden S.DeSotoRoyse CityS P T N E W S L E T T E R | J A N U A R Y 2 0 2 6 I S S U ECLINIC REVIEWSGina H.I have nothing but positivethings to say about my son’sexperience.
