Classes & Workshops Testimonials
My son has been doing Occupational Therapy with Amy for a year and half, and we couldn’t be happier. She developed a special bond with my son, yet made him work hard in a way that was fun. Within a couple of months, we started seeing more progress than the entire previous year. Amy was also very patient and caring with the entire family while we transitioned from home schooling to a regular classroom environment, working closely with his teachers and caretakers.
Amy has not only been good for our son but good for us as parents. She has given us many tips and lessons on the way we can play with our son to help him develop his skills and strength.
As a mother worried about the behavior and temper of my toddler, going to Playful Jams classes with Amy for one hour a week changed our lives. It is miraculous what just one hour daily of directed play, love, and attention can do for your child.
She was very knowledgeable and very organized. I learned that handwriting skills have much more to do with the body, not just hands. I understand more about body language when it comes to the children.
She made it very easy to understand. It was a very educational class. These books are very helpful.
