"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!"
