Testimonial
“I would like to take this opportunity to thank Leila and her team for doing an amazing work. It has been a long journey with many bumps along the way for our son, I knew early on there were significant speech, language and developmental delays and began looking into early intervention services.
In 2018 we started working with Leila ABA therapy and we saw a huge improvement in communication. Our son went from being non verbal to making small sentences within a year of intensive sessions. He was showing progress after each session. Our everyday life has improved dramatically as he is finally able to communicate more clearly which has improved every area of his life including behavior.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your organization and for helping families like ours to be able to do what any parent wants – to be able to do what is best for their child and give them the opportunity to strive in life! Sincerely. O.K
