Testimonials

There are people who have made a big difference in my life, and Shira is one of them. Just before I met Shira, my three year old son, Jack, was diagnosed with a language learning disorder. His painful struggle with language (expressive and receptive) was taking its toll on everyone in the family, especially poor Jack. Within months of seeing Shira, Jack was willing to socialize again, and his tantrums disappeared completely. As his trust with Shira grew, so did his willingness to communicate. Jack built up his vocabulary. He felt comfortable talking with Shira and others, even if he knew his words would “come out wrong.” Receptively, he made huge gains. Gone were the days when I would say something to my son, only to be met with a vacant stare. Jack understood me now; I could have a conversation with him. He understood books that I read to him, asking appropriate questions when they were finished. Everyday tasks at our house became simpler, less of an exhausting event. Our home became happier, more normal. I can’t say enough about Shira. She is very professional and has a huge heart. Shira loves what she does and she works hard. She’s always available for questions. Frankly, I don’t know what we’d do without her. She feels like family. We’re lucky to have her.
