\u00a0<\/span>\u201cWe have noticed far more full sentences from Rebecca, and a greater desire to share her ideas and thoughts since being involved in the Amina Grace Speech and Language Program. Now that she is in high school, she wants others to hear and understand her more. Her confidence seems to be growing by the day! \u201c\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cJoshua is doing so much better and working hard in his sessions with communication.\u00a0 Joshua is now able to have a voice not only with mom and dad, but with family, friends, and in the community. Thank you for this wonderful, free, program to help our son learn to have a voice and communicate with others\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Thank you so much for working with Tony this summer. He is using his communication device more. When I\u2019m not understanding him, he will go get it himself and sometimes he uses it just to tell me something. Before, he would never do that. He always thought I could understand him without the communication device, but sometimes I can\u2019t so I\u2019m so glad he is using it. He is still using his picture cards a lot too, those are his favorite. He really enjoyed working with you\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
