Best of All: Amina Grace at GiGi’s Playhouse

I want to take an opportunity to share with you what a wonderful experience Alyssa and I have had with the Amina Grace Speech and Language Program at GiGi’s Playhouse. We have had three sessions to date, and the services have exceeded my expectations by far. Kayla is extremely knowledgeable, professional, effective, and highly engaged with Alyssa every minute of the hour that we meet with her. Kayla cultivates an environment that is fun, friendly, interesting and challenging for Alyssa, which has proven to be very effective in eliciting her emerging language skills. After the first session, and each subsequent session, I leave feeling full of a deep sense of hope and excitement for Alyssa and our ability to communicate with her and know her better. I am gaining skills right along with Alyssa about how to engage her more effectively and to help promote her language skills. I feel exceedingly thankful for this opportunity, and I am particularly touched that there are generous donors out there that value this vital and worthwhile program enough to fund it for people like my daughter.
