What People are Saying

“The Resource Clinic that I joined was a one-to-one clinic for parents of children aged five and under. It was an amazing time as the entire hour was used for focusing on questions and answers of my daughter’s case. After the session, my clinician, Beth, sent a list of resources that were discussed in the session. It was very informative and time well spent!” READ MORE
