TESTIMONIAL

“Sasha was very helpful to my daughter Chasya. She provided pragmatic language therapy in an encouraging and non-judgmental way. Chasya looked forward to her sessions and was able to apply what she learned in real life situations. Aleksandra really made Chasya feel comfortable and enabled her to learn and grow in her own way.”

TESTIMONIAL

“Sasha has been wonderful with our daughter. It’s work and practice through play and our daughter enjoys the visits…Sasha provides an update of what they are working on and the progress of our daughter’s therapy.  She is realistic with her assessments and looks for the small gains we can see and build on.  Our daughter has responded well and self-corrects more often.  Most importantly, she looks forward to Sasha coming and is driven to continue working on her speech issues.”
