We are so happy to have found Word Therapy. Mrs. Nicole has been amazing to work with. She’s patient, kind and is always coming up with new ideas to help our son learn to communicate. We’ve seen many Speech & Occupational therapists in the past without much progress. Since starting with Word Therapy, we’ve seen significant progress & my son actually enjoys his therapy sessions.
