Essential Therapy Solutions
Essential Therapy Solutions received positive feedback from a family!
"Hi! I wanted to share my experience with the program! My son began speech therapy and loved his previous teacher but had a switch (no bad reasoning for switching Ms. J was handing patients off. Loved J too!) Now we have Ms. S and my son Ivan loves her!! He is very particular on who he likes to be around. I find her very informative, engaging and exciting to see him develop with her!"
As always, we thank our Service Providing Agencies for everything they do and appreciate their great work supporting the children and families receiving AzEIP services.
