"Claire works as a therapist in our violence against women and children non for profit, she engages so beautifully with the children - creating art projects for them and allowing them to find their story and develop from it. Such an inspiration and so bubbly with the kids and staff :)"

"Claire worked with my two kids with autism so beautifully, they were essentially non verbal when she first arrived and she helped them to utilize what she called "different modalities of learning" such as auditory learning and visual/tactile. Through this they found their voice, I couldn't recommend her more highly. Her experience as a child therapist and as a former cps teacher (where I met her) has not only helped my kids but my own parenting as well!"

Yes with western dupage special recreation association and both of my recent kids I looked after had complex autism and special needs due to that.
