Success Stories "Prior to starting therapy, Hadley had a violent reaction when she didn’t get her way. She has been in therapy for 6-7 months and has had no violent behavior for the last couple of months. We are so proud of how far she has come!" - M.T. "Matthew was having so many melt downs and over-reacting to some things when we started. His volume control was out of control. Since we have been here, he has learned to identify when he is in a situation where he may over-react, calms down much faster, and reacts to changes and negative situations with a smile. We can now work on his voice volume and lower it as needed. During the holidays his Nana said she could see how hard he was working and a big difference in his responses when around family members. Especially when around all the excitement of big family dinners with lots of noises and activities! The tools and resources we have learned to use have been invaluable in making this progress!" -T.E.
