“During the course of time in which you (work with my son) eye contact, vocalizing, words (as well as two word phrases) and tolerance for certain stimuli, greatly increases…This is just to let you know how valuable the type of therapy you do is. The part you play in (his) life is making it easier for him to cope with his world and opening it up to him.” Mother of a child with autism |
