We have started online therapy sessions with Harisha for 3 months and it's been very helpful. She is helping my son with therapy, speaking words, and now making smaller sentences. She is very friendly, informative, and helpful, also assisted us with not just therapy but useful information for us to practice and other vocal techniques to work on his vocal skills and movement s which assisted us so much in getting my son vocalizing more and we started seeing improvements mainly in his ability to start conversations and using new words.
I am writing this to let you know that how very much pleased I am with the improvement Ridhaan is making. Thank you for all the hard work and dedication that you put in every session. Ridhaan is showing a great deal of improvement in taking instructions, his sitting time has improved and he is much more verbal now in his communication.
