The workers are so nice and listen to you. I have been trying to have my son evaluated for 2 years and the one time he was, I was told he was right on track. Being a mother of 4, I knew that was not the case. Finally I take him here and yes, he is behind on a lot!!! They set us up with services, which is much needed. They listen to your every concern and help set up goals for your child.
** I would reccommend their services, let them help your child grow!!!**
