Love Letters!

At this very moment, I'm listening to my son's fluent speech. How satisfying it is to see his self-confidence grow and his personality bloom!

I constantly thank God for sending us to Alida
--Jane, parent and Connecticut teacher

Bill's autistic non-verbaliness is a thing of the past now, thanks to the transformative means of Alida's therapy sessions. After several years of sessions with Alida, Bill can interact socially and communicate his basic needs. His self-image is confident. Our family and friends appreciate his charm.

The joy we now feel in his company surpasses the few times when we felt the bitter struggle to overcome his disability. Alida's persistent attention to his unique needs, her loving and firm behavior modification, her strenuous review, and her professional evaluations, all with parental involvement factored in, portray a therapist who sincerely believes in the human spirit: "Alida-Engelism."

As our family matures, we continue to support and develop Bill's progress as we celebrate the beauty of being human.

Thank you, Alida!
--Jane L., parent

You are wonderful! You have helped Robert so much and not just with his speech. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding. You even know when to tell mom to "Go for a little walk." (Mom put a smiley face here)

We were blessed to have found you.

Thank you,
--R & M, parents

There's not a child in the world that wouldn't benefit from a talk with Alida. Thank you for a most imaginative approach, because that's what J--- responded to. She had blossomed this year in so many ways. She not only speaks clearly but enjoys being heard. Thank you for thinking outside the box.

All the best,
--G & R, parents

Alida, you are such a patient and wonderful person! Not only have you helped my son with fluency, but you also helped him over all as a person! With your guidance, teaching and support, our whole family has grown and learned to communicate better. I can't thank you enough.

Love,
--Laura L., parent

Alida, you have such a calming effect on me and subsequently on my voice. I never thought you could improve me but you have! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
--L. J., adult voice client

What a wonderful gift God has given to us-you! The most wonderful things have happened to us since you came into our lives. Our little girl has blossomed and is responding wonderfully to your teachings. Her eyes are brighter and her confidence has mushroomed. In your motherly, loving, and professional manner, you have transformed her from a child that was lost into an eager and curious person.

I look forward to our visits, and I must say underneath your firmness F-- recognized the benefit of your persistence and enjoys her new-found understanding.

S-- and I cannot express our heartfelt thanks and our gratitude to you adequately enough. What you have done for our child we will never forget.

God Bless You, Gratefully,
--V. & S. M., parents

You've been more than a friend to D---. You've been a friend to our whole family.

You've helped D-- with his articulation and because of coming to you he is more confident and outgoing.

Thank you for everything.
--The M. Family
